who the FUCK is yoti and how do we make them SUFFER for this until they fucking regret it enough to STOP
Ive been paying my domain registrar for services for a decade or so.
A few weeks ago they asked me to confirm my ID with yoti.
Now im in the process of switching to another registrar.
Im so fucking sick of having to invest so much effort just for a bare minimum of privacy.
based of you to bail on those shitbags, honestly :D
i hope a lot of places lose a ton of business because of Yoti specifically. I hope it hurts and I hope they know why it hurts.
I left PayPal because they asked for a video instead of a proper method of verification.
I'm just old enough to get cranky about silly things that aren't important to other people I guess.
The principal of the matter is in fact quite important and not silly at all. If we don't stand up to protect our privacy in small ways, they will proceed to violate our privacy in larger and larger ways.
Yes, but we also have to function in a world that is hostile to people who value privacy.
Like at some point i want to just be able to live without defending this nebulous intangible ideal.
Which registrar, if you're willing to disclose?
I'm using multiple, with some domains not having many options. I have yet to see this but it's worrying.
only domains
Domains was a dot au TLD.
I have dozens, but the request was only applied to one of them. I got the impression they were doing the requests incrementally to give support a chance to field all the tickets from people like myself pushing back.
With the ticket, at first a human responded, then the next response was a few pages of AI slop which didnt answer my enquiry. I politely told them that the AI generated response didnt answer my question and asked them to have a human review and respond.
Then I found a more expensive Australian registrar ventraip. They at least claimed to have 24/7 human support. I transferred the offending domain.
Onlydomains idiots replied a week later saying "uh, it looks like this domain has been transferred away, and that was the only one we had requested ID for at this time, so you dont need to do anything for now i guess."
Idiots.
I doubt their support team has any control over the situation. It's honestly surprising you got the final email.
My enquiry was to see whether I could provide business details instead of confirming my identity.
The eligibility criteria is either an Australian resident individual or an Australian company.
They said I could transfer to a company but it costs $200.
I was trying to get them to tell me whether that was their fee or the regulator auda. Support didnt comprehend the question.
Perhaps there will be a future generation that saves IPv6 addresses like we do phone numbers.
But then the ISP will ask for Yoti 🤦
Yoti is a British company headquartered in London that operates age verification and digital identity services
Well that explains a lot. Fucking nanny state.
Don't the Brits have very strong defamation laws? Seems like an easy lawsuit to win.
I mean.. GrapheneOS is here to do exactly the opposite of that. Lol. I mean... Fuck Yoti but like ¯\(ツ)/¯
Btw It would be better to prove that it is secure. If you think about last year, for example (That applies to Qualcomm, so you'd have to check what hardware is installed. ) —CVE-2026-25262(But it's only now making headlines)—the question remains: what hasn't been discovered yet?
Oh look, grapheneOS was vulnerable... but it's been fixed now https://discuss.grapheneos.org/d/35355-details-on-the-may-2026-android-security-bulletin (not same CVE)
https://forum.torproject.org/t/enabling-grapheneos-protections-causes-tor-browser-for-android-to-break/21535 lol
The focus is still on what has been discovered; the question remains: what has not yet been discovered? And you still need firmware you can trust. You can't trust Qualcomm.
Dont forget the whole infrastructure. https://youtu.be/fM5w7bFNvWI
Are you implying that they put the vulnerability there? What is even your point? As far as I know they were the first ones to have a fix for that issue but apparently that means that they're inherently insecure. Like seriously, do you even have any idea what you're talking about???
CVE-2026-25262 they cant fix qualcomms Firmware... Qualcomm could but well..
You are correct I believe. My understanding was that graphene blocked an api or something like that to address the vulnerability..?
There are various CVEs... They can fix Qualcomm's firmware... Just as they can't say exactly what's going on there...
Okay I'm just gonna say it. So what?
People trust the GrapheneOS devs blindly... As if the devs had found the Holy Grail... There have already been several security vulnerabilities... For some, they can actively do something; for others, they’re dependent on the hardware manufacturers... (The fact that they only support Qualcomm besides Pixel also leaves a bad taste in the mouth)... So in the end, you still have to trust the hardware and the entire infrastructure (cellular networks, etc.), and you simply can’t trust any of it... Instead of treating phones as untrustworthy, grapheneOS users blindly trust the devices 100%, which is fatal. That’s why I call it a honeypot... Ultimately, you can’t trust ANY phone, no matter what OS is installed... That would require at least open hardware.
GrapheneOS is great but the users are well...
And you have anything other vibes? No. No you do not.
Or are you gonna pull the old "do your own research line" cause you think it makes you sound smart?
It's not like I haven't already mentioned a few things, along with sources. Oh, come on, just stay in your bubble...
Plus, you're ignoring what security researchers, hackers, and others have always been saying: that there's no such thing as 100% protection... Come on, prove that it’s 100% secure—I’m waiting… Oh, wait, you can’t prove that because it’s impossible…
For that to be true, it would have to be a completely isolated OS… Without cellular connectivity, usb, etc. I'm having fun trying to get the modem out of the SoC... Ohhh
You just can't trust these devices 100%. But you do it anyway, because you know better, of course.
By the way, just using this OS is already causing problems with Yoti, but I'm sure you'd deny that too. 😏
I see what you're saying. I'm partial to Graphene but I am picking up what you're putting down.
GrapheneOS: Our Daily Honeypot. You can't trust any cell phone. The operating system doesn't matter. 🤣
I'm not opposed to old school devices but realistically they're impractical in today's world.
I used to use flip phones. While cheap, too much of the world expects you to have a smartphone.
I figure that the authorities will get annoyed if they keep receiving false positives from this company
They don't seem annoyed by their own false positives when they classify anyone who opposes genociding Palestinians as a terrorist. The UK Government seems quite happy with these heavy-handed tactics for the oppression of politically inconvenient people.
Zionist scum.
Israel is responsible for genociding Palestine and Britain is guilty for supporting it with arms sales.
Fuck me, that's one of the worst takes I've seen in a while. Figured you'd be from Feddit with rhetoric like that. Must be German.
Ah, well. A .world loser posts a shit take, must be a day ending in y.
Better hide the children from him. The one who dreams of having his own Aisha. The one who celebrates and loves Palestinian terrorism in Europe, the UK, and the US. The one who defends hunting jews in the West.
We're out here opposing genocide and the best you can do is calling us pedophiles and calling all Muslims terrorists. Pathetic.
I figure you'd recognize a genocide when you saw one, being German and all. Guess you're doing the same thing they did during the war, deny it and pretend it's not happening. They deserved it anyways, right? /s
Fuck off and tell your AfD buddies someone was mean to you on the internet.
I think you're just feeding a troll
Probably.
the ones who dream of having children to rape are conservatoid chud shit sucking scumbag wastes of skin. just LAST MONTH ALONE there were more than 30 arrests of pedophiles and they were ALL RIGHT-WING.
so yeah hide the children from all of them.
innit funny how the people crying "think of the children" are the exact people you want thinking of children A WHOLE THE FUCK LOT LESS, ACTUALLY
https://www.spiegel.de/international/germany/past-pedophile-links-haunt-german-green-party-a-899544.html Ohhh and now they are so pro islam.... Btw left or right doesnt matter all pedos deserve jail...
Islamophobic POS.
You've got nothing but racist stereotypes.
Tells a Kufer.. Go travel there they love killing kufer... Red the Koran... Oh you say the Koran itself is islamophobic? Come on stfu
🤣 stay with the honeypot
