The facial scan produces a biometric template stored while the account is active. When users modify their PIN or recover their account, the app captures a new facial scan and compares it against the stored template - a 1:1 matching operation. According to the authority, "despite repeatedly asserting - both during account creation and in the privacy policy - that the purpose of processing the biometric facial pattern is to guarantee user identification, Yoti does not consider itself to be processing special category personal data," a position the authority characterised as reflecting "particular negligence."
The fine for this infringement was set at €500,000.
Over and over we've heard from AV providers that no data is stored, and certainly not biometrics.
Spain's filing says this isn't true. Facial scans produce a "stored template" which is kept as long as the account is active.

Federal Reserve Board - Proposal Details
The Federal Reserve Board of Governors in Washington DC.
The government is asking for public comments on whether banks should be able to deny you from buying legal goods at their own whim (i.e. how they're cracking down on art)
Tell them you don't want to be told how to spend your money

‘Age Verification’ could force trans people to out themselves to use the internet
Automated online ID checking systems add new potential dangers to having a mismatching ID.
Conservative efforts to invalidate trans ID documents, coupled with age-verification laws, could block trans people large parts of the internet.
Platforms from Discord to Bluesky to adult sites are increasingly reliant on valid IDs for age-verification — and thus access.

Hello Bluesky friends, I wrote a book about OnlyFans that is coming out SOON.
Would you use this book as a set reading in your course/unit/subject? Would you like an inspection copy? Let me know! I'm thinking media studies (especially social media/internet studies), sociology, gender studies etc

So, for whatever they're worth, here are my thoughts:
1. DON'T PANIC. DON'T TRY TO MAKE OTHER PEOPLE PANIC BECAUSE IT FEELS LIKE DOING SOMETHING
Scaring ppl away from activism & organizing by raising vague concerns about surveillance is not helpful. Take a breath, listen to experts. Don't panic.

I would probably work with the player to make it more specific - like mortals who are in fear because their phobia of clowns has been activated. Otherwise they are basically just feeding on a resonant mortal, which is not quite the idea

Marzio with ridiculously chiseled features. His speech bubble says "Down with Camarilla pigs!" in cursive.
Local Anarch leader preaches to you under the stars wyd? AKA I asked @dauverney.bsky.social if she wanted me to yassify or handsome squidward-ify her Marzio (Giovanni) and she chose the latter #vtm #vampire #giovanni #ocsky

Are We in a ‘Smut Renaissance’?
Sure, we're in a "smut renaissance," but maybe you've noticed we're also in a Christian Nationalist censorship regime that is trying to restrict the internet. (Might be worth mentioning!)
These aren't unrelated. As "hardcore" is demonized and erased, social acceptance of "softcore" rises.

Real talk, "wholesome/cozy" content is a very, very easy market for right-wingery because it advocates on "no politics allowed we escape the world here"

Yeah, it seemed like they were casting for the end of those actors’ arc rather than the beginning. It feels silly at the beginning though

Meanwhile, Spain's massive investment in renewables is paying dividends now: with prices for Spanish industry and consumers low and stable compared with other European economies.
