Your Kid's Next Download May Need Proof Of Age

The next age check may happen before the download, not inside the app. The EU KIDS Act would make app stores the gatekeeper, so your family account becomes the checkpoint. Would that make you feel safer, or worry about handing over more family data?

IDScan.net held ISO 27001 and SOC 2 certs and still got tied to 170M+ leaked ID documents (Biometric Update). Certifications manage risk, they don't erase it. If verification can run on-device, why is KYC still shipping bulk identity data to the cloud?

Dutch MPs backed age checks for online adult-services ads. Fine. But an age gate should confirm one fact, not build an ID file. Ask every site what it keeps. Which proof would you trust most: anonymous confirmation, selfie estimate, or government ID?

Flock's CEO says no facial recognition. VIDIZMO is pitching police a workaround anyway: export Flock footage for face matching and race/gender filtering, a tool its own CEO admits isn't built yet (Mezha). What's a privacy pledge worth if the exports are open?

Face Matching Helped Find 37 Missing Kids In 3 Days

CaraComp @caracomp.bsky.social · 08/10/2026
37 children found with help from AI face matching in the NY area. But the number that matters is how many leads humans checked before anyone acted. A match is a starting point, not proof. What safeguards would you want in place before police used it on a case close to you?

Cambridge's first live facial recognition day: 29,361 faces scanned, 917 on the watchlist, 3 arrests, mostly for missed court dates (Cambridgeshire Constabulary). Is roughly 1 arrest per 10,000 faces a win for targeted policing or too much scanning for too little?

The most important number in kids' online safety is one. One age check, handled at the device, instead of every app collecting selfies and IDs. Safer for kids shouldn't mean more family data stored everywhere. Would you approve it once on their device, or upload details to every app?

DHS's RIVR-1 numbers are brutal (Biometric Update): median ID document checks passed just 79% of real users, and median liveness caught only 53% of the top attack. Face matching is solved. Docs and PAD are not. Which vendor publishes its own numbers first?

Deepfakes now drive 1 in 5 biometric fraud attempts and injection attacks rose 40% (CoinGeek). The fix isn't better eyeballing, it's asking who issued a credential and whether it was altered. If appearance can't be trusted, what's your last layer of proof?

Fake Ronaldo Called Him. One Request Exposed It

A Ronaldo deepfake just tried to scam a 70-year-old in Venezuela. He caught it by asking 'Ronaldo' to speak Spanish and the call dropped. Expect more of these, because a familiar face lowers guard before the ask. Would your parents know what to test before they sent money?

Maclean's nails it: the real risk isn't the algorithm, it's the unregulated stockpile of face data sitting in schools, malls and stores with zero oversight. Bias makes it worse. Who should be allowed to hold your face, and for how long?

Supermarkets vs police on FRT is the wrong question, argues Fraser Sampson. If retailers already run live FRT and share images with police, banning police use is hard to justify. Trust comes from governance, not bans (Biometric Update). Who should set the rules?
