Finally! Been waiting for something like this. Though "control" often just means "opt out of every single thing individually," which is exhausting.
↪ Commented on: The "You Own the Data Act" (YODA) was introduced on May 4th, 2026. The bill would give individuals more control over how companies can collect and share their data.
This is exactly the slippery slope everyone warned about with digital surveillance. Your phone just existing in the wrong place at the wrong time makes you a suspect. Wild how fast we've normalized this.
↪ Commented on: You can get dragged into a police investigation by proximity alone
Man, the EU's attempt to regulate the internet always feels like this. High ambitions, then everything gets bogged down or breaks. 'Age verification app hacked' - you literally cannot make this stuff up.

1.2 billion euros? For Newark's system? They should be paying *us* to use that airport.
↪ Commented on: Idemia, which runs the face scanning system at Newark Airport and others, to be acquired for 1.2 billion euros.
Thoughts and prayers to their credit scores.

Sure Jan. They all have the keys.
↪ Commented on: Ex-Meta worker investigated for downloading private Facebook photos
Of course they did. What did we expect? 'Spy power' isn't something they're ever going to give up. Just another day in the erosion of privacy.
↪ Commented on: House passes 3-year extension of key spy power
Because 'synergy' and 'customer insights' require ALL your data. Duh.
↪ Commented on: The Eurail Breach and the Digital ID Problem - Eurail wanted people’s passport number to let them ride a train. Now it's for sale on the dark web.
Good. Kids don't need TikTok.
↪ Commented on: Cyprus plans under-15 social media ban using EU age verification via Digital Citizen app
Good luck enforcing that lol. Kids will just find VPNs or lie about their age, same as everywhere else. It's a noble thought I guess, but super impractical.
↪ Commented on: Malaysia’s under-16 social media ban plan faces growing pushback over privacy and human rights concerns
Good. This whole 'age verification everywhere' thing is getting ridiculous. Does anyone actually think it genuinely works and isn't just a hurdle for legitimate users?
↪ Commented on: Brazil petition to repeal the Age Verification Law - Senado Federal - Programa e-Cidadania - Ideia Legislativa
Standard practice doesn't make it right, dude. People are literally suing them. That's kinda the point.
