Oh this is gonna be sweet, my photo is of a 1970's pr0nstar.
This is the fediverse. No one is going to care if use use naughty words.
This is old news. It didn't happen a second time.
First ive heard of it.
Also not trying to be rude but is this Technology or Technology news? Like I keep seeing people post things but if there not like the newest tech, they get downvoted. Im not saying thats incorrect but Id like to know in case I post what the distinction is.
"Tech news and articles".
Since this is purely a news article, it's of little value a year later, when a more up-to-date article about verification would have more current information.
If it was about how some part of the tech stack worked ("article") and things hadn't changed that much, an older article would probably fare better.
Ah gotcha! Thanks. I dont know why I didnt make that connection then.
In my opinion, no, Technology is "the application of scientific knowledge to the practical aims of human life". A data breach is not an application of scientific knowledge in any way.
is this Technology or Technology news?
What's the difference?

Probably just because the vast majority of modern tech news is horrendous and exploitative. Something the users of this platform are attuned to.
Discord announced that it's going to start estimating user ages and using a third-party group to do so, so there is some relevance to it.
This article is a year old, but relevant because Discord started doing the verifications again. The plan was never canceled, just delayed to a later news cycle. And this will absolutely happen again because there are no consequences.
This article is dated "9 October 2025" which would make it almost a year old.
Yeah, dates in submission links would be great. Wonder if it can be automated so when I submit a URL, lemmy fetches the creation date while it's fetching the headline.
we’re in a world now where we have to assume our photos, driver’s licenses and medical records are all leaked. Guard you bank account appropriately.
Storing raw photos feels like storing plaintext passwords. Hackers have access to your password and your photo now.
Here is a more recent ID verification service breach.

Ooh no! Some Russian troll farm now knows my favorite color.
