Because uploading your image and ID to Meta isn't a security risk at all, oh no.
Why are governments helping Meta and friends harvest their citizens' data? Evil or clueness?
Surveillance capitalism just wants to completely destroy all anonymity for data harvesting, propaganda, and control purposes.
...
Considering Epstein didn't kill himself, and literally none of his hundreds/thousands of oligarch-customers have faced any consequences, this pedelephant in the room could very well be what chat control, photo scanning, etc is actually all about.
Parent takes photo of their baby/child in the rudey nudey > custom pedo-developed algorithm flags it as potential child porn > sends image/vid to gov server for "verification" > data gets "hacked" by pedos.
Same system could easily be adapted to stealing everyones private sex pics/vids, as the entire idea is that it's performed by closed source applications in the background, without the user ever being aware.
And with the way CSAM works, governments could easily insert hashes of ANY files — say a whistleblower steals the un-redacted Epstein files — so OS's/services would identify everyone who had downloaded that file(s), sending the alarm straight to the secret police's surveillance system; maybe they could be silenced before they've had a chance to tell anyone.
I "lost" my old FB account because they demanded my ID to verify my legal name, near 11 years ago. I fucking refuse, and will always refuse.
Fuck Zucc.
What do you use instead for online social groups? Do you ever hit a group or business that's only on Meta apps, whether fakebook or whatsapp?
I got flagged on Facebook for using an obviously fake name. So I changed to a more plausible sounding name and it worked. I had prepared a doctored passport scan but it wasn't necessary.
For another FB account they wanted me to get at least two user friends to verify they know me or some bs like that. I didn't bother. Years later I was able to log into that one anyhow.
They know that they can't push too hard.
mine is still blocked ;_; not that it is an issue anymore. I did create a second account for a bit but now am basically completely disconnected from their... "service"... of my own volition.
Evil, since they probably have backdoors into all of those systems. Though I’m not sure why they want a bunch of videos of 16 year olds…
Do they have pizza restaurants with secret basements in Aus? /s
It's hilarious how little the qtards are up in arms about literal evidence of a deep state pedophile cabal, but some emails that were entirely innocuous outside of the melted brain goo leaking from their ears. Jeffrey wasn't talking about walnut sauce in his emails about touching children, so it could mean anything!
Well, not 'haha' hilarious, more 'existential crisis caused by countrymen with IQs lower than freezer temp' hilarious.
That's just silly. Can you provide evidence to this? Or is it just feefees
Ok so feefees
