🇪🇺 Digital ID and 'convenient' hacking: Why your privacy on social media is at risk?

The European Commission presented an app for age verification on social media that was 'suddenly' hacked in just 2 minutes. It seemed like a classic bureaucratic failure, but let's dig deeper. 🕵️‍♂️

When a government application claiming to protect the data of millions of citizens turns out to be vulnerable "by design" (trusting the user's device is a fundamental mistake), the question arises: is this a mistake?

Possible scenario of events:
1️⃣ A supposedly "confidential" application for 18+ verification is created.
2️⃣ A loud hack occurs (we are here 📍).
3️⃣ Under the pretext of "safety and child protection", stricter, centralized control measures are implemented.

The result? A tool for total surveillance sold under the guise of caring for safety. Mandatory ID verification for logging into social networks is a direct path to de-anonymization and control over each user's digital footprint.

In the Web3 world, we fight for decentralization precisely because such "solutions" take away our right to privacy. Remember: every centralized database is a target, and any government check is a potential lever of pressure.

Be vigilant and protect your data. Freedom of speech starts with the right to anonymity. 🦇
