Just saw Pavel Durov calling out the EU's new age verification app and honestly, the timing is wild. Apparently it got hacked pretty much right after launch, which is kind of embarrassing for something that's supposed to be about privacy and security.

The whole thing is supposed to look privacy-respecting on the surface, but Durov's pointing out it could easily become a surveillance tool. Like, if you're building something for identity verification across the EU, the bar should be pretty high, right? And if it's cracking that fast, that's a huge red flag.

Makes you wonder how many other 'secure' systems we're using that have similar issues nobody's talking about yet. What's your take on this - is the EU just moving too fast on these things, or is security just not the priority?
