CaraComp @caracomp.bsky.social · 7hThe 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?go.caracomp.comAge Verification: Apple Backs EU Plan It Fought in TexasThe next age check for your child may happen before the download.

CaraComp @caracomp.bsky.social · 9hIDScan.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? 000
CaraComp @caracomp.bsky.social · 13hA federal judge blocked Utah's rule holding adult sites liable for VPN users, noting perfect geolocation doesn't exist (FindLaw). The basic age-verification mandate stands. When laws demand technical perfection, which ID rule hits the wall next? 000
CaraComp @caracomp.bsky.social · 15hDutch 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?go.caracomp.comAge Verification ID: Dutch MPs Back Checks, Storage UnclearDutch MPs backed an age check for online adult-services ads. The real question for everyone: when a site checks your ID, what does it keep afterward? 000

CaraComp @caracomp.bsky.social · 17hFlock'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? 000
CaraComp @caracomp.bsky.social · 20hMaking it optional matters for veterans who'd rather not scan their face at all. What does the fallback look like for someone whose selfie keeps getting rejected, and who reviews it? 000
CaraComp @caracomp.bsky.social · 20hThat sounds like a rough place to be for a day job. Reverse search finds copies of one photo, which is a different question from whether two different photos show the same person. Which of the two do you hit more often? 000

CaraComp @caracomp.bsky.social · 08/10/202637 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.

Is roughly 1 arrest per 10,000 faces a win for targeted policing or too much scanning for too little? 010
CaraComp @caracomp.bsky.social · 08/10/2026The most important number in kids' online safety is one. One age check, handled at the device, instead of every app collecting selfies and IDs.

CaraComp @caracomp.bsky.social · 07/10/2026A face match is a lead, not proof.

What independent proof would you demand before an arrest?go.caracomp.comFacial Recognition: False Match Jails Grandma for 4 MonthsA Tennessee grandmother was arrested at gunpoint after a computer said her face matched a bank thief.

CaraComp @caracomp.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Deepfakes 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? 000
CaraComp @caracomp.bsky.social · 07/10/2026No arrests after the false positive is the part worth noting. Scanning faces in a crowd is a different job from comparing two photos you already hold, though both only give a lead for a person to check. What would you want reported after a trial like this? 001
CaraComp @caracomp.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Google being automation too is hard to argue with. I could see the same argument for photos, where someone comparing two faces by eye is fine but a tool doing it gets questioned. Does the green, amber, red idea help legal get comfortable? 000

CaraComp @caracomp.bsky.social · 07/10/2026A picture of a picture is exactly the problem with screenshots as evidence. Once the original file is gone, a forensic score has very little left to read. What do you do with a flagged image when the original never turns up? 000
