  • The company’s website claims that its system has a 99.98% accuracy rate

    99.98% accuracy of the people it flags as shoplifters or 99.98% accuracy overall? And if the latter then what proportion of the population are even shoplifters? Could you achieve similar levels of "accuracy" by saying nobody is a shoplifter? Maybe throw in a few positives here and there to make it look like your product does something other than harass the public?

  • Wait what? Wasn't this one of the first projects to oppose the law by updating their license to ban California and Colorado residents? And they've caved already?

  • Group Pushing Age Verification Requirements for AI Turns Out to Be Sneakily Backed by OpenAI

  • No need to, but no need for it not to either. And no way to verify it isn't beyond "trust me bro" and I don't trust them

  • Surely that's not zero knowledge since the government can see every site you visit, which is the whole point of these laws anyway

  • Android's new developer verification rollout begins, sideloading changes are next

    Jump

  • I looked further into it and it seems to be because on iPhone the restrictions were purely technical, it just wasn't possible to publish anywhere other than the app store which apparently isn't monopolistic.

    However Google were apparently making deals to make the play store the more attractive choice despite the alternatives existing, which did count as monopolistic behavior.

    Now in isolation I can sort of understand both of those decisions, and I don't really care either way because fuck Google Apple and Epic, I want them all to lose. But in the context of both lawsuits happening pretty much at the same time this was literally the one result that made no sense. I could understand Epic winning or losing both cases, or even beating Apple and losing to Google, but this way round was just stupid and I think Googles recent behaviour is partially because of it.

  • Basically Epic weren't happy with the 30% cut that Apple and Google take from app sales and in-app purchases so they introduced a direct payment method which bypassed Apple and Google's payment methods, but was in violation of their app store rules. In response both Apple and Google removed Fortnite from the app store. Fortnite remained playable on Android because of sideloading but was unplayable on iOS (I'm not even sure if it's back yet)

    In response Epic sued both companies claiming they held an illegal monopoly. Somehow Apple won and Google lost

  • I also blame the Epic lawsuits. How the fuck did they lose to Apple but win against Google, the platform where Fortnite was still fully playable and monetised?

  • Apple shat all over those regulations with their implementation and got away with it so now Google are doing the same

  • Apple rolls out mandatory UK age verification with iOS 26.4, requiring users to provide a credit card or ID, a first in Europe, after UK government pressure

  • You're giving them too much credit. Their intentions are not benign and they are the authoritarian state

  • Kind of fits with the role of government though

  • Thanks, I think I probably will end up on Artix eventually. I'm going to try Gentoo first just because it interests me though!
