Fortune: #Discord cuts ties with #PeterThiel-backed verification software after its #code was found tied to U.S. #surveillance efforts - https://web.archive.org/web/20260224100715/https://fortune.com/2026/02/24/discord-peter-thiel-backed-persona-identity-verification-breach/
#Persona basically left their code accessible on a #USGovernment endpoint. Researchers looked.
Yeah, they know what you say on #SocialMedia, #FacialIdentity, and 267 other things to identify and profile you.

So Duo (the multifactor authentication service that #infosec loves) has integrated with Persona (the privacy destroying, Peter Thiel backed, AI-linked, facial scanning and mapping "identity verification" software)
You know the recent Discord snafu that received such massive pushback and caused so many people to leave Discord that they've dropped their identity verification?
Yeah, that Persona.
Duo integrates it into Duo Premier, Duo Advantage, and even Duo Essentials...
...which means many working class folks will have no option but to be enrolled into and use Persona...
...or be fired.
