explicitly anti-surveillance, explicitly political, and the research quality is comparable. If you’re European and skeptical of that government entanglement, CCC is the better fit.

Political how?

You can’t get around for “addiction for ad dollars” being the whole point. It’s always going to surface ragebait, trash talk or whatever because that’s what sells attention, no matter how hard it’s fought.

Yes you can.

Once a user verifies their identity with Persona, the software performs 269 distinct verification checks and scours the internet and government sources for potential matches, such as by matching your face to politically exposed persons (PEPs), and generating risk and similarity scores for each individual. IP addresses, browser fingerprints, device fingerprints, government ID numbers, phone numbers, names, faces, and even selfie backgrounds are analyzed and retained for up to three years. The information the software evaluates on the images themselves includes “Selfie Suspicious Entity Detection,” a “Selfie Age Inconsistency Comparison,” similar background detection, which appears to be matched to other users in the database, and a “Selfie Pose Repeated Detection,” which seems to be used to determine whether you are using the same pose as in previous pictures. In short, the software “flags you as a ‘suspicious entity’ based on your face alone,” the researchers write. An act that may prove dangerous, as Persona’s software has reportedly made significant mistakes when attempting to estimate the age of users in the past. When paired with AML reporting, such suspicious analysis can quickly lead to the unjust termination of bank accounts. And that seems to be exactly what Persona was built to do. In addition to facial recognition, Persona’s software is able to perform checks on financial data — including running checks on sanctions lists, running checks on cryptocurrency activity via the blockchain analysis firms Chainalysis and TRM Labs, and an interface to file suspicious activity reports (SARs) directly with US and Canadian federal agencies.

Westoids upset

It’s the same picture.

No mercy. In the bins. Hired help would do it.

No! 🫨

Slavers think they have the right to “own” people.

Democracy died in daylight, the darkness hides the rotten body.

Israel and USA want perpetual war with *

I feel like there’s a happy medium in studio makeup between “at the morgue for a week,” and “in the spray tan booth for a week.”

Sadly, we can’t trust official sources to tell the truth.

The joys of being a vassal state.

They’re hoarding our share of the money.

MMT is for the ultrarich, not for parents peasants.

He got his cut.

Oh geez. That means planning beyond the next quarter. Maybe even a five year plan.

Shoot the gas can, burn it to the ground, he forgot the salt though.

‘It wasn’t a suicide. It was a murder,’ one user wrote. ‘Black people don’t hang themselves. They get hung.’ Another argued that the fact Bassinga was found hanging in a tree is ‘all the signs of foul play you would need if you had a f****** brain.’
