#Roblox is asking #children to submit #biometric face scans for "#ageVerification." But the tech is powered by #Persona—a company backed by Peter Thiel, the billionaire "panopticon architect" behind mass surveillance and ICE raids.
Worse, Persona’s terms strip parents of their right to join a class-action if their child's data is leaked or misused. We need to show Roblox its "safe playground" reputation is at stake.

People often take us for "extremists" when we tell them we don't use #Zoom and other surveillance systems masquerading as commercial products. They should rather call us insightful.
Why? Yet another example: when you go to a Zoom meeting, you give them #biometric information. Of course they will tell you it's to protect you from #AI and #deepfakes

I'm very sceptical to #digital HR-tagging tech, like #idaustria:
Driving the "said to be free" public to freely select to irreversibly "donate" their #biometric #metadata to "some companies":1. face
2. fingerprintsAnd encourage children to grow up finding this okay and necessary. Over devices known to be quite permanently under control and surveilance by "some companies"?
Hm. Safe?
Option 3. "yubikey" (another company) - already saying TODAY their program is end-of-life??😕 #longterm?

Federal Agents Are Intimidating #LegalObservers at Their Homes: “They Know Where You Live.”
#Immigration authorities in #Minnesota have identified legal observers by name and address, and in some cases showed up at their homes.
by Austin Campbell
March 5 2026, 5:53 a.m."Former Minnesota state Sen. #MattLittle was lawfully observing federal immigration agents in a Dakota County neighborhood last month when the drive took an unexpected turn.
"As he followed their vehicles, they led him down a rural road that grew increasingly familiar during the 20-minute drive. Soon, Little told #TheIntercept, he realized where the federal agents were headed: his house.
"When he approached his driveway, two SUVs were already waiting, Little said. Agents moved to block his car, claiming he had impeded their investigation and that local law enforcement would be called. No other officers came to his house, and Little was not cited or charged.
" 'The intent was clearly to intimidate us. It’s stressful. It’s a little bit scary. But at the same time,' Little said, 'I just think it’s really important to be out there and monitoring what they’re doing.'
"Interviews, sworn declarations, and video reviewed by The Intercept indicate that Little is not the only person subjected to this kind of #intimidation. Across the #TwinCities, immigration agents have identified legal observers by name and address, and, in some cases, led them back to their homes after they engaged in lawful monitoring of immigration activity. Legal observers say this pattern of behavior sends a clear and chilling message: The federal government knows who they are and where they live.
"These encounters are unfolding amid a rapid expansion of federal #surveillance capabilities.
"Immigration authorities have significantly expanded their use of mobile #biometric and surveillance tools in recent years. Officers with Immigration and Customs Enforcement as well as Customs and Border Protection, for example, can use the smartphone app #MobileFortify to photograph a person’s face or capture fingerprints in the field and compare them against federal biometric databases, according to a Department of Homeland Security inventory of artificial intelligence technologies."

One of the many reasons to be against #ageverification softwareIt gives the wrong people & companies tons of data, often #biometric ones
Therefore we transfers #power exactly the wrong people & #corporations
And as we can know latest since #Edwardsnowden companies do share data with governments
The cornerstone of the #chinese #surveillance #state is #realnameregistration
Don't give #biometrics to #evilcorp, especially not for cheap thrills
Do not hand data to #fascists

"ICE Out of Our Faces Act" would ban #ICE & #CBP use of #facialRecognition
The bill would make it "unlawful for any covered #immigration officer to acquire, possess, access, or use in the US—(1) any #biometric #surveillance system; or (2) info derived from a biometric surveillance system operated by another entity." All data collected from such systems in the past would have to be deleted. The proposed ban extends to cover other tech, such as #voiceRecognition.

The EU’s Entry/Exit System rollout is delayed until after the peak summer travel period.
The system was due to become fully operational across the EU’s borders in April 2026, but this has now been pushed back to September 2026.
The scale-up of the biometric technology has already experienced teething problems, causing significant delays for air, ferry and Eurotunnel passengers.

The State of Anti-Surveillance Design
To outsmart #surveillance systems, it’s helpful to understand them. #Facialrecognition —which identifies an individual face—works differently from #biometric scans that look at a person’s #iris or #fingerprints , & those systems work diff from #ALPR , which could in theory match an individual’s movements to a car through a DB. & consumer-level facial recognition systems, like #Pimeyes , operate using diff #algorithms & DB

The TSA confirms —an #iPhone or #Android #cellphone app will be enough to pass through more than 250 #airport #Security checkpoints thanks to the finally approved #Digital ID/ID Pass system.
Airports supporting #GoogleWallet and / or #AppleWallet digital IDs at select #checkpoints include major hubs like ATL , BWI , HNL, ORD , PHX, LAX ,SFO , DEN, IAH . Some states are not fully on board with the tech yet including major destinations like Florida, or Hawaii which accepts Apple but not Google devices, so travelers are warned to still bring physical ID as a backup... And if you don't , expect to be billed $18 by TSA for an impromptu #biometric scan.
Since debuting in August, travelers have been verifying #ID with a facial video scan; using either #NFC or QR codes at #TSA checkpoints by holding up an unlocked cellular phone —here's links to more info, which states are actually on board, or have their own in req'd apps, and the basics on how it works.
