Reminder: The reason that this seems coordinated is because it is.
Meta has spent over $2 BILLION dollars to push this everywhere.
Being able to link accounts to actual people is incredibly valuable for Meta and all of the other companies who sell your privacy for cash.

I’ve been spamming this lately but it feels warranted:
Please reach out to your family and urge them to stop using Facebook (or worse, any form of reels) if they still do. The onus is on the informed now. It’s not enough to just ask the tech barons to stop, we also need to divert their support.
Yes, we need to vouch with our own attention and money. Many people stay on those platforms because their friends are there but maybe tell your friends where they can find you from now on. If we just suggest that there’s another platform, they’ll never leave. Most people got enough stuff going on in their lives and rather choose what’s comfortable
ollama launch <your AI agentic frontend here> -- "Write me an age attestastion app for Android that implements EU's attestation reference framework without any bootloader checks."The problem isn't the software, there is already software that provides identity services.
The problem is that you will not have the cryptographic signatures that authenticate your app as a trusted identity provider. Nor would your app be able to fool the hardware attestation, which is built on unique signed cryptographic certificates that are signed by the manufacturer's Certificate Authority and physically burned into the TPM on your device.
In order to pass attestation, your system must boot into a trusted OS image and then it has to prove that by submitting a signed quote, generated by information stored in your TPM along with keys signed by the manufacturer's CA.
This isn't something that you can hack around, it's built on cryptographic verification of your entire boot sequence.
