#VRChat is playing politics and doing damage control rather than materially addressing the matter by breaking ties with an org poisoned by #Palantir dollars.

“ #Persona receives no information from us about you or your VRChat account.

We generate a custom ID for the sake of verification, which tracks the progress of the verification process. Once Persona sends us the relevant information attached to that ID, it’s hashed, we complete the process, then all verification data is deleted.”

This is as insidious as it is irrelevant. Persona et. al. know we are on VRChat, and that the VR community is more queer and neurodivergent than the general population. That, along with the other data they siphon off elsewhere, is enough to be dangerous.
