This Meta’s stupid attempt to not get sued for addicting kids. They want to force the problem on the entire world, so they cant be held responsible. They are pushing these same laws in several countries, Brazil just passed a near identical law.
Meta would steal your right to privacy, and force you to identify yourself to every single electronic device you own just to avoid being held liable for harming children. Absolutely disgusting. Zuck belongs in the deepest pits of hell.
They probably paid a million for this vibe coded app. I am confident that I could somehow make this.
Super common here in Germany that sensitive data is handled via crappy apps that essentially have backdoors.
If you break them and report the bug you can be prosecuted under some hacking paragraph.
Merkels famous quote (“Das Internet ist für uns alle Neuland” - “The internet is new ground for all of us”) still holds true in 2026 lol. Literal third world countries are more advanced when it comes to digitization and stuff lol.
If you break them and report the bug you can be prosecuted under some hacking paragraph.
The old shoot the messenger approach!
We’ve had some high profile examples in the US too. Like this one, from 2021. A professor was investigated by governor Mike Parson of Missouri, for literally using View Page Source in a browser. And reporting a major vulnerability in good faith. I linked Parson’s wikipedia page, because he deserves his ridicule. Not for his ignorance! Many are ignorant of how the web works. That’s OK. He deserves ridicule for how he handled the episode. For dragging the professor’s name through the mud, who had only tried to help.
In the end, the governor received much ridicule. The investgation was dropped.
And they think I’m going to add my ID into an app?! Let alone an unsafe one. No, thank you. I’ll just carry a physical card, which is already mandatory.
How hard is to enable security audits on GitHub? I’ve literally done it in two clicks. Also how hard is to type “Make me a redteaming GitHub bot that checks every PR and every commit” to an AI provider’s CLI if they don’t want to do that?
Also once again, why they just don’t use Mistral (baguette local language model) to implement ADB checks?
Meanwhile Mr Paul is all about how bad this app is, how he won’t help fix it or do anything for the government(because he was asked i think).
This app needs more work, and second, the attacker needs access to the phone. Now you can access the phone when it’s unattended, steal it, do what you do and then give it back, or do some remote code hacking.I stay away from anything this ghoul has to offer
I miss the old definition of hack.
I really can’t remember an era where the term hack wasn’t used incorrectly but this case seems a lot more fitting than usual
I hate that melon husk ruined the term “Grok”. Grok, by Heinleins definition, was closely related to Hack, by its original definition in relation to tech. Not to drill new holes, nessecarily, but to understand a system so well that the holes, or lack thereof, are just readily apparent.
I’m waiting for Melon to ruin “Butlerian jihad”.
Yep, I remember a MSFT vet actually teaching me the term ~15 years ago, when I was working for thrm and … yep, just another thing Elon has fucking ruined by association/appropriation.
Elon quite literally does not grok Grok.
thanks for explaining. every time I read grok the bigot in me is like eww Elon, now I know is yet another thing this guy ruined
Why would you tell them about this? LLMs are creating a golden era of cracking, and exploits are currency.
Some people actually want to improve the world without needing to get rich quick
What, by helping governments impose online controls on their own people? So thankless.
I guess if they have a bug bounty you’re still helping the fuckers, just taking cash for it. At least this way they are looking stupid and incompetent.
Sometimes people won’t understand that an idea can’t work until they try implementing it and the practical issues hit them in the face. Better now than once everyone is forced to use it.
That message at the bottom was written by “it’s open source so it must be safe” type security expert
I think he’s quoting Von Der Leyen because it’s the same person that posted the exploit and the whole thing was in quotes
“Technically ready”, as per the post the dude replied to. It’s “good enough” to fool idiots. For people that care to scratch the surface, the veneer falls off super easy
As if Ursula knew what she is talking about. Nevertheless, this is a terrible idea and most likely something with another agenda behind, other than the stated reasons.
With that being said, we need another president for the commission and perhaps a completely different commission. How many years until her term ends?
As far as I understood, the app only contains a token proving you are 18 or older. Nothing more…
So what potential breach is he taking about?
Or did I miss something?
It’s apparently easy to bypass, but it also stores fingerprints and id images unencrypted.
Teen can “hack” it to state it’s 18.
The only way they will get the message is if there is a concerted white hat campaign targeting EU lawmakers to show them the error of their ways. If they refuse to see, then some black hats need to make them feel it.
Step 1: open source a broken software that was vibe coded in 5 min
Step 2: wait for the internet to fix it
Step 3: profithat was vibe coded in 5 min
When you get proof, like the bots in reddit who all said for sure vibecode, please do share it with us.
I’m not saying its probably not, but you guys throw stuff and thats it, we are done. Other than that, I agree not safe.isn’t it the same everywhere now?
- CEO vibes code some shit that gets some attention
- Sends it your way
- Can you make this production quality?
At least fucking send me the prompts so I understand what you wanted to express instead of me reverse engineering this shit for days
I know this impossible because of that one guy who wants EU app dev on their resume, but the OS devs need to collectively say fuck you and let the shit hit the fan
because of that one guy who wants EU app dev on their resume,
this is the kind of people I despise and who I think deserve eternity in hellfire, but also deserve being spit in the face by all their friends and family
They should be tied in a sack with a cat, a monkey, and a goose, and the whole thing chucked in the river.
How about we don’t phantasize about lynching? Although I get the sentiment, but that’s going too far.
Apparently respecting highest privacy standards doesn’t have anything to do with cybersecurity standards.
A shiny new bucket doesn’t leak, but the lid can’t be locked so anyone with two hands should be able to open it up and see what’s inside. Sure, it’s private, but not secure.
