How This EU Age Verification App Might Be a Threat to Your Privacy
8The EU released a law that would require websites and applications, which have adult content, to verify the ages of users using IDs and an app under their jurisdiction. In this video I talk about how this can be a massive problem for the privacy of EU users, how big tech might exploit this law to scrape more user data, why the EU implemented it and I also try my best to recommend a better solution to the matter.
Enjoy the Video!
