This. The data collection is the product, that’s why it’s free.
replyBut it's not free. Persona is hugely expensive.

replyPalantir is an integration company. There are plenty of data brokers to scrutinize. i.e. discord itself sells your data.

reply> We don’t sell your personal information.
No evidence that they sell your data against their privacy policy has ever come to light, so I think you should probably back that claim with evidence if you think otherwise.
> Palantir is an integration company
replyThat's not true at all. I worked with Palantir on a project for a prior company and they'd basically do whatever you wanted if you paid them. They had a very heavy data / "AI" presence and this was years ago. They certainly do not just do integrations.
They don't buy or sell data.
replyThey certainly say they don’t. Its a company that I don’t think would have any qualms about lying through its teeth.
replyThis is the part that loses me, my understanding was that this was only supposed to scan things offline, not collect any PII. Are they lying about not collecting the face scanned data?
replyThere's two paths for verification, and the discussion on them is muddying things. There's k-id, which is the local-only age verification, and then there's a secondary process for places where k-id is indeterminate or their system flags you as possibly still being underage, and requires ID verification.
replyPreviously, they handled this escalation path via Zendesk, which was breached revealing all of the messages with IDs.
Now, they're trying out Persona for this path.
There is no reason to trust them, and many not to.
