We are definitely entering the era of stupidity. Who wrote that article hasn't read the paper, just asked some AI to scan it and fudge up an eye catching article. The article claim things that are not in the paper, that are actually false, the paper does state the face image is actually encrypted on the client side and never says that is shared with third parties. If you prompt your AI with enough bias and ask it to read a technical paper, then this is what happens. And given no one bothers to check facts there you go, everyone screaming against a legit company that is just doing its job. The paper itself reports that Yoti has given an amicus brief in a US court where they just stated that age verification can be done in a privacy preserving way (which seems to be what they do, they have nothing to gain from keeping data). I wonder if that is why they are after Yoti so badly now.
