This increasing interest in biometric data, not just from "X", is concerning to say the least

I feel like this link is a scam itself lol

If you're downloading manually there aren't really a lot of advantages to this I think, unless you search through 10 or more sites every time. For automated downloads using sonarr/radarr/lidarr/.. it's pretty mandatory.

That seems to be the trend nowadays, repeating the same thing as if they were trying to meet a quota. Often I see articles about a single tweet of about 100 characters, just summarizing the tweet several times with no additional info. Generating an article with AI would probably be even better now, especially when it's just a summary of a study.

There are still plans with data caps in Belgium, this is limited to the "cheapest" plans though at about 30 EUR a month

So that's about 2.95M USD or 2.7M EUR, I wouldn't go to prison for 18 years for that amount of money that's for sure.

Maybe his 4D chess move is trying to push everyone to federated apps, what a great guy!

He's probably having a fit over everyone blocking him from their feeds

I haven’t found any info on such regulation existing

In Belgium, the RRN (SSN) is considered confidential data and its use is restricted to specific purposes, typically related to administrative, legal, or public interest matters. To ask for RRN, you'd need authorization and it's highly unlikely you'd get it just to validate someone's social media account.

I can differentiate situations depending on context

I think you're missing context though. It wasn't addressed in the video.

Ah thanks, I couldn't find anything about it. I run all my stuff on a server behind a Tailscale network, so nothing is accessible without VPN access. I thought it might need connections from other instances.
