Google Broke reCAPTCHA for De-Googled Android Users
The company that decides whether you're a bot now also requires you run its software to prove otherwise.

I have heard that providers are getting emails telling them that they have to verify their ID by the end of May.

For those of us who feel stuck between not wanting to leave our providers and not wanting to give up our privacy to Persona it would take collective action from many customers to force Headway to reverse this terrible decision.

This guy should definitely be told who is on antidepressants. https://skipcut.com/watch/RsisHdJRjQE

Fortunately there is nothing to worry about as Headway support has told me “With the information we have gathered, I can assure you that your personal information will not be leaked, as Headway prioritizes data privacy and security in full compliance with HIPAA regulations.”

This will apply first to people seeing a provider who is prescribing them medicine, but “soon” will expand to everyone including the providers themselves.

You can talk to your provider and see if they are on any alternative platforms to Headway that you can switch to so you can keep seeing them.

The barrier to stopping seeing your therapist and / or psychiatrist is high—much more than just changing to a Discord alternative. It seems it will take collective action from many people to force Headway to reverse this dangerous plan.

I have been asking for weeks to be allowed to do a manual review but Headway support is ignoring my request and just telling me that I can choose to opt out and stop being a headway customer.

However in talking to Headway support many times over the past few weeks to try to opt out they eventually told me I can opt out by not using Headway, which means there is not actually an opt out.

Opting out is possible according to their policy which states "Inform each User in writing of the manner in which the User may opt out of the collection, processing, storage or usage of their Biometric Data"

What are more accurate and emotionally resonant names for the propagandically misnamed proposed laws which would compel all operating systems to force users to present their ID to attain permission from the US government and its designated corporations to use any computer (including a cellphone)? It is not #ageVerification, despite the Orwellian misnomer. #idVerification gets closer, but still doesn’t communicate the fact that it would let the the worst people in the world decide which individual is allowed to use a personal computer (including a smartphone), and to tie everything you do or say on any computer to your legal identity.
“Please, #PeterThiel, may I use my phone?”
What would be more honest and effective branding? (Any ideas, @pluralistic?)
Anyone with better ideas, please reply here, and if you’re willing, in the comments of Louis’ video too.

We’re going against the grain on this one, to acknowledge that proposal H.R. 8250 is not nearly as bad as past proposals like KOSA or the EU’s ID verification scheme. New video out now: Why Everyone's Got the 'Parents Decide Act' Wrong

RE: https://social.coop/@cwebber/116408556882122186
An #idVerification bill is attempting to force every user of every device subject to #US law, and every device whose operating system is controlled by a company within US jurisdiction, whether in the #USA or not, to provide their government ID to use their own device. This must be opposed with all the capacity of the #freedom, #democracy, #privacy, #security, and #resistance movements of the USA, by the states, and by diplomatic and trade pressure from abroad.

Headway https://headway.co will soon be requiring identity verification through the Peter Thiel backed Persona—the company Discord was originally using.
Headway is for finding, booking, and paying therapists and psychiatrists. In light of the administration’s view of autism https://www.propublica.org/article/rfk-jr-autism-environment-research-funding and antidepressants https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2024/07/rfk-jr-wants-to-send-people-on-antidepressants-to-government-wellness-farms/ this is rather frightening.

CW: Fighting ID early verification
This morning, I received a response to a post I made about Discord’s ID verification process. The post blamed governments for Discord’s actions. This is a pattern I see often. I replied to the reply. With #Flatpak and #XDG ‘s recent actions, I feel it’s worthwhile to post this separately and modified slightly.
I advocate fighting our governments but that’s not what’s happening here. So far, there is no national law with a requirement that this type of invasive user IDing be done. Even if there were, Discord could sue the government. That’s one of the main ways these things get overturned since the very legislatures that implement these laws are unlikely to overturn them in a timely fashion without mass, nation disrupting action.
So far, these actions have happened at the state level. Bluesky’s reaction to Mississippi’s law was to block visitors from the state of Mississippi. That was the right call. Discord should have done the same and sued the states implementing these laws.
The fact that Discord chose to go out of their way to do something so bespoke, custom, and egregious hints that they were already working on it for other reasons entirely. Their whole modus operandi seems to be to gather as much user data as possible including for the purposes of develop AI models. I think it’s likely they built the systems they have specifically so they can market their solutions for identifying “underage” users. They want to be the ones selling this invasive tech to other companies. That’s way worse than merely proactively complying when they had so many other options to fight.
We have to stop making excuses for the companies that are not merely complying in advance but positioning themselves to profit from future tyranny.
In the case of Flatpak and XDG, they may not be preparing to profit from these laws but they certainly have more options than compliance with them.

As a company director in the UK who needs to submit our accounts.. I now need to verify my identity to do anything tax related. (correction - need it to submit our confirmation statement due in August .. but not yet to submit any accounts) They want photo ID like passport or driving license but also to take a photo via app. Site claims you can input info without the app eg driving license details and link it to credit check to confirm identity - but that doesn't work which seems deliberate. Can confirm ID in person at post office but you have to get a letter which will take ages and they still take a photo and scan your ID. So all smacks of AI shite and #Palantir type data harvesting dodginess - any thoughts masto folks #IDVerification #UKGov #CompaniesHouse #HMRC #DataSecurity #AgeVerification #FaceRecognition
