2·5 days agoComparing my whitelist to the suggestions I’ve found online, I can only come up with api2.branch.io, saa.paramountplus.com and tags.tiqcdn.com; I might have also deleted something from the blacklist. There’s a few Paramount+ whitelists, like this one, that you could look at if none of those work.

Privacy@programming.dev•Oh, good: Discord's age verification rollout has ties to Palantir co-founder and panopticon architect Peter ThielEnglish
13·11 days agoThe Palantir connection isn’t the only bad bit here:
Sure enough, Discord’s support article describing its age verification process now features a disclaimer informing UK users that they “may be part of an experiment where your information will be processed by an age-assurance vendor, Persona.” And while Discord had previously insisted that facial age verification recordings would only be stored and processed locally, the notice about Persona says that “the information you submit will be temporarily stored for up to 7 days, then deleted.”
They tried so hard to convince people the verification would be safe, and they’re already experimenting with making it less safe.

Nominees for the job require Senate approval, so technically they could try to make Trump put up someone good. Bondi was nominated when it turned out the Senate wasn’t likely to approve Trump’s first pick, Matt Gaetz.
Pretty sure ICE agents see it as they get to shoot rubber bullets and throw tear gas at people protesting racism. They aren’t being forced to do it, they’re being given permission.
