Starts to feel like a wave of this kind of BS is hitting the world.

I think it might be time to call it: Mark Zuckerberg Pervert AI

🧑‍⚖️ Love how they are going after Meta in "Alvarez v. Meta" for their use of Instagram user biometrics to train #AI (EMU) plus their Smart Glasses and MetaAI facial recognition software (NAMETAG) 🥸 This could turn into a major win for everyone's privacy❣️

The full CLASS ACTION COMPLAINT: https://www.biometricupdate.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/Alvarez_et_al_v_Meta_Platforms_Inc__ilndce-26-10773__0001.0.pdf

Resistance to Meta smartglasses is increasing around the world!

It's interesting to see how these kinds of corporations don't really care about or put significant effort into helping people with disabilities (or really anybody), while using them for PR whenever they get a chance.

I love how they put a pic of "Epstein File Mark" in the article ;)

🪪 The recent idscan.net (&more?) breach exposed over 153M Driver's Licenses + 10m IDs + 579k Medical Cards mostly from the US & Canada.

Age verification aka ID verification proponents should really think about how unsafe data is once it's collected en masse.

Citizens' Security & Privacy need to be prioritized and considered BEFORE implementing any form of verification for anything.

Are the Western courts in charge of protecting the people sleeping right now? 💤

Think the roughly $18 Billion Meta has settled for over child safety is a slap on the wrist?

Wait until you see the actual details: 😀 Paid in annual installments over a 10-year period

😜 States receive the money, not the victims

🤑 30% will only be paid if YouTube & TikTok:

"...pay an amount matching the 30% figure "...implement a one-hour Daily Limit, Night Mode, and age assurance measures"

Meta even wrote a wonderfully open letter to their competitors!

Sadly now everyone will have to verify themselves, too bad for Meta, now they will have to collect even more data - which we know they totally oppose and hate ;)
