Welcome back to another video. The entire age verification industry is imploding in real time, and the people building this surveillance machine are too sloppy to keep it running. Right now, major platforms are burning through identity-verification vendors so fast they can't keep one alive for thirty days, and also there are some hilarious disasters, like Veriff got breached in December 2025 and was immediately hit with three class-action lawsuits. And researchers traced an unprotected database holding national IDs across 26 countries back to IDMerit. Five major verification vendors. As many as a billion personal records exposed in barely two years. And that leaked data is already being weaponized into not so good stuff... like AI voice cloning scans‼️‼️ This video covers: the age verification industry imploding in real time, platforms burning through verification vendors month after month, Persona's exposed code and its 269 surveillance checks, the Veriff breach and the class-action lawsuits that followed, the IDMerit database exposure, how a billion leaked records became AI scam fuel, and why the entire verification model is COLLAPSING. 📌 Chapters: 0:00 - The Age Verification Crisis 1:30 - The Persona Disaster 3:11 - The Veriff Data Breach 4:45 - A Historical Track Record of Failure 6:18 - The Ongoing Chaos and Legal Pushback 7:51 - Outro 📚 some interesting stuff with more info: https://cybernews.com/security/global-data-leak-exposes-billion-records/ https://fortune.com/2026/02/24/discord-peter-thiel-backed-persona-identity-verification-breach/ --- 🎙 my gear (amazon associate): ► Microphone - https://amzn.to/4rKPtcE ► Mouse - https://amzn.to/4ubkQyJ ► Keyboard - https://amzn.to/4rP41rE ► Earbuds - https://amzn.to/4u9ARoX ► Main Monitor - https://amzn.to/4aQsqr1 ► Mousepad - https://amzn.to/40bl5w0 ► XLR Interface - https://amzn.to/4aRwVSc alt-titles: everyone just turned on age verification companies. age verification companies just lost control. age verification companies just picked the wrong fight.
