I read that as a toast.

So if you provided your picture for verification, they now can easily track you with their network of flock cameras?
OwOarchist@pawb.social 2 weeks ago
They could already easily track your face because your aunt uploaded a picture of you to Facebook and tagged you in it.
What they’re trying to do here is connect your face/identity with your Discord account, so that they can more easily track down dissidents who say naughty things online through Discord.

This is a tangent but I hate that there is very little you can do when someone else actions your picture.
Case in point, I once had a co worker take a picture of me and then (without my consent or knowledge) uploaded it to an app that “ages” you to look older (like grandpa old). Then she shows me after the fact.
I had no control over her uploading my visage to one of those ai data gathering apps. I put effort into not willingly giving the powers that be more information for my profile/portfolio.
But you’re right, that even trying to mitigate all you can, they can still build your profile without any of your own input. Just by association.

My aunt definitely doesn’t know how to do that. So I’m safe

Brah… They can already track you down to the last time you farted.

Yeah, that’s why we should demand our cities to break contracts with flock and inform everyone we know about deflock.me
Those cameras are deployed in crazy numbers, but are designed to not draw attention to themselves so majority of people are oblivious.

No. They aready had your photo and info from the DMV

tl;dr
Discord told Kotaku its work with Persona was part of a “limited test” which has since been concluded.

No no, I think they mean “I’m sorry you feel that way.”
jjlinux@lemmy.zip 2 weeks ago
More like ‘we’re sorry you fucking figured it out’.

Yeah because they totally didn’t know before.

It doesn’t say in this article that they distance themselves?
Kyouki@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
This feels like a damage control type post. You’re right as it mentions nothing but the sheer fact of its existence and connections.
Anarki_@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 weeks ago
It’s a new article on what a Discord said days ago. It’s old news.
BenderRodriguez@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Oh, damn. I uploaded my face with a Jar Jar Binks mask for no reason.

So they sucked up all the data - which will be held forever in Palantir.
It’s like they fenced the stolen goods then went oh, that was a one time thing - we don’t have this data (hehehe we sold that shit), so look clean hands! No worries!
How about no.
