After the British spilled the beans with the Online Safety Act 2023 (Effective today), I wondered if there were any leaks I could use to prove forced verification is not the way the internet should be built, parents need to be liable for such things children do, not the server room hosted in Vietnam, I may not agree what the servers contain but this is not how you solve a problem.
Turns out a 4Chan user leaked hundreds of photos by finding a “public firebase storage bucket”. It has now been made private and gives an 403 error, but the damage is done, its already in torrents and there is no way to reverse such action.
Someone has already made a location list based on the photos (allegedly, I could not find such metadata in the photos yet).
Just wanted to make an informational post for fun, I cannot show any “illegal numbers” here, sorry.
If you submit your ID to a random app with no history and unknown developers and company, don’t be surprised if it gets leaked. This app is garbage and should be removed immediately. The company most likely used AI.
Tbf, PornHub’s ID verification is better than this. You can trust PornHub more than this random app with your ID, and there’s a reason why. This app just collected your ID for no reason. No wonder they only allow US users!
True, the hub is mostly trusted.
So anyway, I guess its time to illegalize the other thousands of other websites, because they can’t afford to pay age verification.
