Discord and the identity verification software Persona Identities, that has ties to U.S. government surveillance, have officially ended their partnership, which lasted less than a month. The decision to cut ties with Persona comes after independent security researchers recently reported that, apart from verifying users’ ages, Persona, which is partially funded by Palantir co-creator Peter Thiel’s Founders Fund venture firm, compares your photo to government watchlist photos and screens it against “14 categories of adverse media from terrorism to espionage.” The software’s code goes on to perform a whopping 269 additional verification checks, such as estimated age, phone carrier checks, and social security number comparison.
