I am trying to imagine that being absolutely inconceivable in this day and age...but I am failing. This fucking country is so stupid any more that is entirely believably. "My driver's license? Sure, I gotta own me some libs!"
Obviously I will laugh heartily if that is confirmed.

Amazon is offering tech to monitor if employees are wearing masks or socially distancing.
The AWS Panorama appliance plugs into internet protocol (IP) cameras - a standard type of digital video camera used by a huge range of companies on their sites.
It can automate inspection tasks, such as detecting manufacturing defects or tracking the movement of barcodes and labels.
But the tool can also be applied to people.
For example, in a retail shop, it could count the number of customers, track their movements and check the length of queues, Amazon has suggested.
In a factory or other workplace, the same tech can be used to monitor employees "and get notified immediately about any potential issues or unsafe situations so you can take pre-emptive action", the company said.
In the promotional material for the product, Fender guitars says it uses the product to "track how long it takes for an associate to complete each task in the assembly of a guitar".
The Financial Times reports that AWS Panorama can detect vehicles bring driven in places they are not supposed to be. Some major companies are already trialling the system, including Siemens and Deloitte, the FT added.
interesting the lengths these tech companies go to prove the conspiracy theorists right
So SolarWinds was bad but now we have. . . .

If your SSN is on it your fucked.
Unless you're forced to have a digital-only copy of your license in your apple wallet, this means nothing to anyone who has half a brain.
The GCX (charity stream) virtual event that is being held saved all registration information in plaint text and could be easily found by anyone.

Apple has announced that an iOS update to be released later this year will including a scanning algorithm to search for child porn on phones and tablets.
The company claimed the system had an "extremely high level of accuracy and ensures less than a one in one trillion chance per year of incorrectly flagging a given account".
Apple says that it will manually review each report to confirm there is a match. It can then take steps to disable a user's account and report to law enforcement.
The company says that the new technology offers "significant" privacy benefits over existing techniques - as Apple only learns about users' photos if they have a collection of known CSAM in their iCloud Photos account.
I might be interpreting it wrong but it sounded like it was converting the photos to raw data/numbers then comparing the data from different photos to see if they match. Also only applies if you use iCloud to store your photos.

ExpressVPN exec Daniel Gericke outed as a paid contractor for the UAE's spy program.
Project Raven was also used by the Saudi's to track and round up dissidents.With Project Raven, UAE-linked companies hired Americans, including former U.S. intelligence hackers, to work on behalf of the UAE government. The project involved building a hacking system called Karma that contained zero-click exploits which could take over target phones with no user interaction. The scale and scope of Project Raven was first reported in 2019 by Reuters. Targets included activists, heads of state, and Americans.
In a statement to Motherboard last week, ExpressVPN said Gericke "has a deep understanding of the tools and techniques used by the adversaries we aim to protect users against, and as such is a uniquely qualified expert to advise on defense against such threats."
Well obviously that’s why you use Bing for porn
