Privacy was never meant to be a premium feature.
First Discord. Now Google and YouTube.
Apparently age verification now means using your search history, YouTube watch history, online activity and social graph to estimate your age.
And if AI age estimation gets it wrong?
You may need to verify with a government ID or face scan.
Privacy goes beyond your messages!
Discord is rolling out its revamped age-check system with over 90% of users not expected to need ID verification
It estimates users' age groups using signals from their activity and account 🫣
A great reminder of how much metadata can reveal about you.
An update on how we confirm your age group on Discord from @svishnevskiy. Read the full blog here: discord.com/blog/safer-for-t…
Over 80 browser extensions are legally selling the data of 6.5 million users.
Legally, because it's disclosed in the privacy policy.
Two-thirds of people never open that policy.
The loophole isn't hidden.
It's just unread.
No age verification at the operating system level. 🖥️
No age verification at the app store level. ☎️
No age verification for apps. 🚫
No age verification anywhere online. Period. ✊
Not now. Not ever. ✋🔥

What should Status improve next? 👇
“Protect the kids” somehow keeps ending with “identify everyone.”
A multi-billion dollar company is turning Discord, youtube, X into a mass surveillance tool the second its IP gets threatened.
Take-Two is demanding personal info emails, phone numbers, IPs and device IDs linked to ~100k Discord users across multiple servers.
Your data isn’t just collected. It’s monetized, used, and now pulled into investigations too.
‼️ BREAKING: Take-Two has named the X and YouTube accounts it wants unmasked over the GTA VI leaks.
A DMCA petition filed August 21 in Manhattan federal court names three Cyberleek copycats CyberLeeks, Surfer24k and CyberLeek_ar_io and asks the clerk to subpoena X and Google for the identities behind them.

STOP assuming a messaging app is private if its code is closed source.
If nobody can inspect what it actually does with your data, you're trusting a promise. 😭
$100M+ in Bitcoin was stolen because of one thing most users never think about: how random is your seed phrase, really?
Here’s how secure seed generation works and how Status approaches it ↓
Having nothing to hide doesn't mean having nothing to protect.
Privacy is fundamental right.

Using digital services almost always leaves some traces behind
The question is:
✦ how many
✦ how linkable
✦ and who gets to profit from them
E2EE hides the content.
Not the footprint.
Your IP, account, API key, auth session, provider route, model usage, request IDs, billing events, and metadata can still be visible.
Privacy is not just encryption.
It’s the architecture around it.
