At this point, anyone still supporting age verification requirements, especially claiming it’s for “child safety,” should have to answer for all the millions of people put needlessly at risk due to data breaches like this."

While it's probably sheer incompetence on the part of governments, every digital spook in every intelligence service, and every cybercriminal will have been salivating when they read the news that the third-party verification companies weren't even going to be strictly regulated. These are fly-by-night outfits with no interest in securing our sensitive personal documents, and no incentives to do so either. 🤷🏻‍♂️
