Mirror mirror mirror. How many are they gonna take down🗿

But the unfortunate truth is, who will oversee that it’s being followed. Time and time again has shown that these agencies have different power on paper and unofficially…take the NSA or the CIA or literally any intelligence agency around the world and you’ll find the same pattern

Yup. IdentityDigital has confirmed its due to OFAC compliance. Presumably due to telegram not complying with the takedown order of the channel, registry (IdentityDigital) Was forced to suspend the entire t.me domain for compliance

On the internet every company does User profiling mainly for advert purposes…its impossible to escape these days but what’s most concerning about glasses was face data was pretty easily made available by the user…still advert and tracking cookies can be blocked…but meta glass camera? Which is basically one of its most highpoint feature? I doubt anyone will heights to block it physically considering that they cost an arm and a leg

Wait…does this mean every time someone wearing a meta glass looked at me…rather its camera looked at me, meta stored my face for profiling purposes regardless of me being an user of meta Apps or not?? This is so messed up. Initially I thought that only friends of meta users used to get profiled via face recognition…wtf…but again it’s meta…violated multiple privacy laws and as such…so not a surprise tbh
