Grindr Launches Critical Security Feature for UK Users

Grindr, a popular app for the LGBTQ+ community, has announced an important security update aimed at ensuring user safety and compliance. This new age assurance feature is specifically for UK-based users, addressing underage use of the platform. New Age Assurance Feature for Grindr Users As part of the UK Government’s Online Safety Act, new users downloading Grindr will now need to confirm they are 18 or older. This update reflects a commitment to creating a safe space for queer adults to connect and network. Previously, users were only required to enter their date of birth to create an account. With this new update, Grindr is implementing a more robust verification process to enhance user safety. How the Age Assurance Process Works Grindr users will undergo a simple verification flow that includes: Completing a quick video selfie. Pairing the video selfie with an official photo ID, such as a driver’s license, passport, or military ID. This verification process will only need to be completed once per account. Importantly, users will not be able to access the app until they complete this age assurance process, which applies to both new registrations and existing users in the UK. Privacy and Security Measures Grindr is partnering with FaceTec, a company specializing in biometric verification technology, to ensure that user privacy is a top priority. The data processing will be independently managed to protect user information while restricting access to adults only. As Grindr stated in their blog: “This age assurance process reinforces what Grindr has always been: a space for queer adults.” This commitment to maintaining a safe environment is vital for fostering meaningful connections within the LGBTQ+ community. Importance of the Online Safety Act The Online Safety Act mandates that platforms with sexually explicit content implement robust age-checking techniques by summer 2025. Given the nature of Grindr's offerings, the app certainly qualifies under this legislation. As Grindr emphasizes, the new age assurance process is a “fast, one-time check that helps keep Grindr safe, secure, and for adults only.” The company is dedicated to continuously monitoring global standards to evolve its tools, prioritizing user safety, privacy, and rights. Engage with the Community We invite you to share your thoughts on this important update in the comments below. Remember to keep the conversation respectful and constructive. At Enola.gr, we believe your story matters. Stay with us for more voices, news, and change from the global LGBTQ+ community.

Mandatory Age Verification For Social Media

I had a conversation with Copilot about Mandatory Age Verification For Social Media.

The proposed Social Media Ban for under-16s by the Australian federal ALP government involves Age Verification methods that include providing ID and biometrics, such as face scanning. This approach raises significant concerns about privacy and the potential for creating a de facto Digital ID system.

Practical Implications • ID Verification: Users would need to provide some form of identification to verify their age. This could include government-issued IDs, like passports or driver's licenses.

• Biometric Data: Face scanning or other biometric methods would be used to ensure the person presenting the ID is the same person using the social media account.

• Data Collection: This process would result in the collection of sensitive personal data, including biometric information, which could be stored and potentially used for other purposes.

Concerns • Privacy: The collection and storage of biometric data and personal IDs raise significant privacy concerns. There is a risk of data breaches and misuse of this information.

• Digital ID System: While the primary goal is age verification, the requirement for biometric data and IDs effectively creates a Digital ID system for social media users.

• Accessibility: Not everyone may have access to the required forms of ID or be comfortable with biometric verification, potentially excluding some users from social media platforms.

Conclusion In practical terms, the proposed age verification methods resemble the creation of a Digital ID system.

The Digital ID Program The Digital ID Program of the Australian government is designed to be voluntary, providing a secure and convenient way for individuals to verify their identity online. However it raises concerns about the proposed Social Media Ban potentially leading to a de facto compulsory Digital ID system.

Key Points • Voluntary Nature: The current Digital ID system is voluntary, allowing individuals to choose whether or not to use it.

• Age Verification: The proposed social media ban for under-16s involves age verification methods that include providing ID and biometrics, such as face scanning.

• Potential For Compulsory Use: While the Digital ID system is voluntary, the requirement for age verification on social media platforms could effectively make it compulsory for those who wish to use these services.

Conclusion The introduction of Mandatory Age Verification For Social Media could definitely be seen as a step towards a more widespread use of Digital ID, potentially leading to concerns about privacy and the implications of a de facto compulsory system.

The Social Media Ban Is The Vaccine Passport Program Revisited Voluntary programs can evolve into mandatory requirements over time. During the Covid-19 pandemic, Vaccine Passports initially presented as voluntary measures soon became essential for accessing certain services and venues. This shift highlighted concerns about how "voluntary" programs can, in practice, become quasi-mandatory.

Parallels Between Vaccine Passports and Digital ID For Social Media • Initial Voluntariness: Both vaccine passports and the current Digital ID system started as voluntary initiatives.

• Increased Necessity: Over time, certain activities (like entering premises during the pandemic) or services (like accessing social media) required compliance with these "voluntary" measures.

• Privacy Concerns: Both programs raise significant privacy concerns, particularly regarding the collection and use of personal and biometric data.

• Public Trust: The shift from voluntary to mandatory can erode public trust and lead to resistance or backlash.

Conclusion The potential trajectory of the Social Media Ban, requiring ID and biometrics for age verification, could mirror the path of Vaccine Passports, effectively making Digital ID a necessity for certain activities.

Aadhar-Ration Card linking deadline extended till September 30

The Central Government has extended the deadline for linking Aadhaar and ration cards until September 30. The original deadline was set to end on June 30, but it has now been extended by another three months. This measure aims to prevent the misuse of ration cards by linking them with Aadhaar to reduce fraud. Linking Aadhaar with ration cards ensures that food grains are provided to eligible beneficiaries and helps eliminate fake ration cards. To complete the linking process, individuals can visit the nearest ration shop or common service centre with their Aadhaar card, ration card, and necessary documents for biometric verification. The linking can also be done through the online portal.
