Georgia Tech: Online Age Checks Create a Pointless Privacy Risk. “New cybersecurity research indicates that one of the world’s leading age verification providers collects and shares highly sensitive personal data with third parties and in some cases don’t even enforce the policy.”

Alter. Ich wollte gerade eine Serie, über die im @schleifenquadrat gesprochen wurde, auf #Arte ansehen, aber die läuft erst ab 22:00 (irgendwo auf der Welt ist immer nach 22:00, aber egal…). Um sie sofort zu schauen, sollte ich mir doch einen Account machen. Also gebe ich meine Daten ein, klicke auf den veremailten Bestätigungslink und lande direkt bei #Yoti, um mein Alter mit einem amtlichen Ausweis zu bestätigen. Ich habe echt keine Lust mehr auf dieses neue Internet mit Vollüberwachung. :-(

The age verification company #yoti is not allowing #GrafeneOS phones to age verify. How is this even allowed?
Just because the phone is more secure than most other Android phones, we are now forbidden to age verify?
What should we do instead? Probably bypass at this point. Congratulations #yoti, you are shooting yourself in your own foot. -
Yoti Reportedly Flagged a GrapheneOS User to Authorities for Using a Privacy OS During PlayStation Age Verification
https://digitalescapetools.com/2026/06/yoti-grapheneos-reported-authorities-playstation.html
> A user attempting PlayStation Network age verification on a GrapheneOS device received an email from Yoti claiming his device had been flagged and reported to authorities. GrapheneOS says the claim is fearmongering from a rogue support agent.

#Yoti, the age verification provider used by PlayStation, the UK Home Office, Instagram and Spotify, is reporting users of #GrapheneOS (a privacy focused Android operating system), to the authorities. 🤯

#Sony #PlayStation recently introduced a company called #Yoti for #AgeVerification. After multiple unsuccessful attempts to verify, a user contacted Yoti support. They said he was automatically flagged and reported to authorities (sic!) for... using #GrapheneOS 🙆🏻♂️

A recent report suggests that age verification company, Yoti, is harvesting far more information than necessary and sharing it with invisible fourth parties.

📬 Yoti lässt Forscher Alarm schlagen: Firma sendet sensible Daten an Dritte

A new study by Georgia Tech and UC Irvine should make EU policymakers pause…
Researchers found that #Yoti, a major age verification provider used by platforms like Meta, OnlyFans, PlayStation and TikTok, expose users’ personal information to third and fourth parties.
Yet policymakers are rushing into digital age verification as if it is safe by design and belief commercial company claims on privacy by design.
The lobby is doing its job.

@gavin57 @GnomeBones It's via #Yoti and it's, "facial scan, ID or mobile number". It's required for "communication features", i.e. messages and voice chat.
Nope, I don't want to encourage this nonsense.

E-mail from Sony. They require age verification, via #Yoti, to allow "communication features" (messages, voice chat).
Feck off. No, all the way off.

Users hate it, but age-check tech is coming. Here’s how it works.
On-device face scans and cross-platform age keys decrease privacy risks, but trust issues abound.

The question to be asked here is, do I want to give my personal data to a company called #Yoti to allow me to access Microsoft's made-by-focus-group shovelware.
Probably not.

The global #onlinesafety movement, driven by legislation like the #UK’s Online Safety Act and the #US Kids Online Safety Act, is pushing #tech to implement #ageassurance systems. This has led to a surge in #AIpowered #ageverification technology, with companies like #Yoti leading the way. However, concerns about #privacy infringements and #databreaches remain. https://www.cnbc.com/2025/08/30/global-movement-to-protect-kids-online-fuels-a-wave-of-ai-safety-tech.html?eicker.news #tech #media #news

Je viens de créer un compte sur le site d'#arte, histoire de pouvoir mettre de côté des émissions à regarder, tout ça tout ça.
Je découvre donc leur système de "sécurité" concernant leurs programmes interdits aux -16 et -18 ans:

US FTC (temporarily) declines to approve “Age Estimation” as a proxy for parental consent; @GetYoti “disappointed”
Various peers are reporting, even crowing about this as a “take the win”-kind of victory, but I am not going to celebrate yet: reading between the lines, the FTC has basically kicked the ball of approving AI-based “Age Estimation” technologies for use in the USA into the long grass, awaiting a likely positive report from NIST:
The Federal Trade Commission has denied an application, without prejudice, by the Entertainment Software Rating Board, Yoti, and SuperAwesome for Commission approval of a new mechanism for obtaining parental consent under the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Rule (COPPA Rule).
The applicants in 2023 requested approval for the use of “Privacy-Protective Facial Age Estimation” technology, which analyzes the geometry of a user’s face to confirm that they are an adult.
Under the COPPA Rule, online sites and services directed to children under 13, and those that have actual knowledge they are collecting personal information from children under 13, must obtain parental consent before collecting, using, or disclosing personal information from a child. The rule lays out a number of acceptable methods for gaining parental consent but also includes a provision allowing interested parties to submit new verifiable parental consent methods to the Commission for approval.
I’ll be frank: I do not like Yoti and their peers — and I have met them up close one or two times — mostly on the general principle that they are attempting to insert themselves into online transactions and communication stacks as convenient compliance-obligated “middlemen” … where I aver that the burden of knowing your customer or client should be an aspect of the client/server relationship, be performed only on a business-need-to-apply basis, and not be outsourced.
Also: having been on the receiving end of “if the data could be used to identify someone then it is personally identifying data” PII-related legal arguments, it seems bizarre to me that Yoti’s whole pitch is that “we process pictures of your face, but that’s okay because we never give them to anyone so it could never be used to identify you.”
It all strikes me as one of those “I smoked, but didn’t inhale” positions.
Between the Yoti CEO complaining that the FTC should have waited for a report from NIST, and the precise details of use cases like “parental consent” which scream of upcoming legal nitpicking, this is not one to celebrate. Not yet, at any rate.

Anybody got any experience of YOTI?
A service I use wants everyone to verify their identity through it, but I've never heard of them before although they say they are recognised by the NHS, Co-op and citizencard.
I'm just nervous of where I type my data.
