Britain has scrapped its national digital ID scheme.
This is the right decision. A centralised database of every resident's identity is a breach waiting to happen.
We argued this in our consultation response to the UK government.

We met the @SECGov Crypto Task Force earlier this year and it was clear they're taking zero-knowledge tech seriously.
@HesterPeirce's comments reaffirm our belief that the world is starting to recognise the risks of current KYC/AML approaches, and the value that products like @ZKPassport can bring businesses and consumers.
🚨 LATEST: SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce says zero-knowledge proofs could verify compliance without collecting users’ personal data.
She warns current KYC/AML practices create “data haystacks.”

In our first guest post, @GoBankYourself explains the death "practical obscurity." It used to be more effort than it was worth to piece together a picture of someone's life. Now with AI, its trivially easy.
Flock, financial history, browsing data, everything. It's all going to be connected.

privacy is much weaker than zcash as zama only hides amounts and not the link between sender and recipient which is arguably more important. i'd say that the zcash of ethereum is aztec

I'm not giving up on privacy. I'm doubling down.

Americans cannot agree on almost anything right now, but they agree on this.
its time to apply the same logic to digital surveillance and tear that infrastructure down too.

arguments against financial privacy assume that the underlying data is safe with custodians.
the data is never safe with custodians.

Another week another breach.
Traditional KYC is not fit for purpose, at this rate it’s the same as uploading your passport photo in a tweet.
Woke up to all my data leaked by @Revolut.
Sharp reminder that KYC hasn’t produced meaningful upside and has put many in harm’s way.

How many more stories like this do we need to hear about before people wake up?
Unchecked government surveillance threatens our constitutional rights and liberties. My Fourth Amendment Restoration and Protection Act would require a warrant before the government spies on you.

To answer one question e.g. are you 18+?
a normal ID check takes your name, date of birth, place of birth, nationality, passport number, photo and signature.
That's 7 answers to a question needing 1.
We help users answer the question being asked with a precise answer...without sharing / storing anything else.
Privacy should be the default.
still crazy that proving one thing usually means handing over everything
if all you need to know is i’m over 18 why do you need my passport lol
privacy should be the default

Video shows Flock walking police through how to monitor a No Kings protest in real time. I do not have to agree with a single sign at that protest to say this plainly: Surveillance aimed at your political opponents today will be aimed at you tomorrow.
Ruh roh. Here is a leaked webinar hosted by Flock demonstrating to police how to track individuals in real time involved in the no kings protests. Maybe you’re thinking “so what?! I don’t go to those and don’t agree with those who did.”
Let me remind you, a digital dragnet built to target your political opponents today will be used against you tomorrow.
Once the surveillance state is turned on, it watches everyone.
