And now, the updates...
1/ Government Technology & Socure: America Needs a New Identity
#digitalidentity took over the April edition of GT Magazine
Phenomenal educational content featuring Matthew Thompson, Jordan Burris, Brett Johnson, and many more leaders in #identity
Congrats to all evolved in this #publicsector initiative
2/ Study Highlights Overwhelming Support for Identity Verification to Combat Misinformation on Social Media Platforms
"Although some social media companies such as X (formerly Twitter) offer a form of profile verification for users who pay for it, many people want a more stringent level of identity verification," said Media.com founder and CEO James Mawhinney
3/ TechRadar: Protecting digital integrity in the age of deepfakes and identity fraud
Thanks to Vincent Guillevic, Head of Fraud Labs, Onfido for sharing his thoughts in the feature on TechRadar Pro

4/ The Wall Street Journal: Deepfakes Are Coming for the Financial Sector
"Companies using photos or audio to verify customers’ identities are preparing for bad actors gaming the system with generative AI" - WSJ
Thanks to Ori Eisen of Trusona for sharing this article with me!

5/ FTC Denies Application for “Privacy-Protective Facial Age Estimation”
Federal Trade Commission denied an application, without prejudice, by the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB), Yoti, and SuperAwesome for Commission approval of a new mechanism for obtaining parental consent under the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Rule (#COPPA Rule)
This is related to the urgent need for online age protection for minors
I had to look it up but "dismissal without prejudice" indicates that it can be refiled at some point with additional evidence and I expect it will!
