This is why the markets are going to have such a tough time when the bubble bursts. This money doesn’t exist, and suggesting it does or humoring it is how companies get away with what amounts to lying. $4.5bn per quarter “by 2026”?? So in the next three months? Huh?

NEW: breach of Discord age verification data.

Including some users passports & DLs

Age verification is a badly implemented data grab wrapped in a moral panic.

Mark my words, as age verification mandates expand, we'll end up more surveilled and less secure. 1/

The darkness drops again; but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?
