Today we take a look at an academic study about ID verification, and why some people aren't thrilled about it.
tl;dw?
Computer scientists from Georgia Tech and UC Irvine produced an academic paper where, in the course of investigating the privacy and security of age verification platforms, Firefox's developer tools (F12) were used to deobfuscate some Javascript code related to the age verification company Yoti.
Yoti's CEO made a blog post requesting a retraction and public apology, particularly surrounding an article Georgia Tech published that summarizes the paper and makes the claim in its tagline that Yoti collects and shares facial photos with third parties. I'm not sure that claim was in the original paper or its findings, based on a few rereads. Spain had fined Yoti about $1m USD a few months earlier for three GDPR violations.

Did you know there are some people who don’t use YouTube for ethical reasons? Or that some people don’t have the time to watch every single video that someone shoves in their face? Some people simply prefer to read an article instead of watching a video about a specific subject. Did you consider that there are people in this world who aren’t you?
