Hi All
Not sure how much people are aware but there has been an increasing amount of legislation either passed or being drafted that aims to make privacy less easy and giving more power to government to introduce surveillance measures.
For example in the EU there is the Chat Control bill which originally wanted to force mandatory scanning of all your private communications (see link): https://fightchatcontrol.eu/
There's also the age verification stuff which although I dislike it, I would be okay if ZKP based ID was allowed (zero-knowledge proofs), it basically allows one person to verify something is true without revealing the underling data. However at the moment this is not the case and its just AI face scans and government ID uploads which has already resulted in a breach (see link): https://discord.com/press-releases/update-on-security-incident-involving-third-party-customer-service
Some states in America also force age verification for downloading any smartphone app and I mean ANY APP.
Whats everyone's thoughts?
