„I Verified My LinkedIn Identity. Here's What I Actually Handed Over.“ https://thelocalstack.eu/posts/linkedin-identity-verification-privacy/ „The whole thing took three minutes. Scan, selfie, done. Understanding what I actually agreed to took me an entire weekend reading 34 pages of legal documents. I handed a US company my passport, my face, and the mathematical geometry of my skull. They cross-referenced me against credit agencies and government databases. They’ll use my documents to train their AI. And if the US government comes knocking, they’ll hand it all over — even if it’s stored in Europe, even if I’m European, and possibly without ever telling me. All for a small blue checkmark on a professional networking site.“ #privacy #GDPR #personaidentities #Microsoft #Linkedin #biometrics #cloudact

    @graste I want to add that the company Persona is linked to Palantir and funded by Peter Thiel https://kotaku.com/discord-palantir-peter-thiel-persona-age-verification-2000668951 Edit: removed my expression of mild surprise.
