Using the vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2026-20700, an attacker could execute arbitrary code. “Apple is aware of a report that this issue may have been exploited in an extremely sophisticated attack against specific targeted individuals on versions of iOS before iOS 26,” Apple said on its support page.

the watchers: how openai, the US government, and persona built an identity surveillance machine that files reports on you to the feds

https://vmfunc.re/blog/persona

TL;DR: discord's KYC provider (persona) is very naked, very poorly secured federal intelligence outfit, and also a siphon for openai data for them and their partners like worldcoin

The most interesting part (for me) is that it legit crosschecks a discord ID check (actually involves checking your face, IP, device signature, etc....) against chainanlysis dossiers for any partial matches to devices/people/accounts/names involved with tracked crypto addresses.

So, if chainalysis gets a device signature, and then you verify your discord on the same device (yielding the same signature), both FinCEN, Chainalysis, OpenAI, and basically everyone now knows your crypto tx <==> your device sig <===> your real identity

Bill Summary: SB26-051 – Age Attestation on Computing Devices

Purpose:

SB26-051 requires operating system providers (such as mobile device platforms) to implement an age attestation system that signals a user’s age bracket to apps in order to enhance protections for minors.

What the Bill Requires

1. Operating System Providers Must:

Provide an accessible interface at account setup requiring the account holder to enter the user’s birth date or age.
Generate an “age signal” that communicates the user’s age bracket (not exact age) to applications in a covered app store.
Provide developers access to this age signal through a real-time API.
Share only the minimum amount of information necessary to comply.
Not share the age signal with third parties except as required by the bill.

2. Application Developers Must:

Request the age signal when the app is downloaded and launched.
Treat the age signal as knowledge of the user’s age range across all platforms and access points.
If they have clear and convincing evidence that a user’s age differs from the signal, they must rely on that updated information.
Not request more information than necessary.
Not share the age signal with third parties except as required by the bill.

Enforcement & Penalties

If violated:

Up to $2,500 per minor per negligent violation
Up to $7,500 per minor per intentional violation
Enforced through civil action by the Colorado Attorney General

In Simple Terms

The bill creates a standardized age-verification signal built into device operating systems. Instead of each app independently collecting age data, the operating system provides an age bracket to apps — while limiting unnecessary data sharing.

The goal is to:

Strengthen protections for minors
Limit excessive data collection
Create a consistent age-verification framework across apps
