IPHONE AGE VERIFICATION

"To challenge these restrictions and the lack of transparency, you can use the following official channels and civil rights organizations:
1. Data Privacy Complaint (ICO) [1]
The Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) handles complaints regarding how personal data is handled and whether companies are following UK data protection laws. [2]

Action: File a complaint if you believe the mandatory ID/credit card scan is disproportionate or lacks clear prior consent.
Portal: Make a Data Protection Complaint
Helpline: 0303 123 1113 (ICO Contact Page)
Advice: The ICO typically requires you to complain to the organization (Apple) first and give them 30 days to respond before they will intervene. [3, 4, 5]
2. Digital Rights Advocacy (Big Brother Watch)
Big Brother Watch has been the most vocal critic of this specific Apple update, describing the move as "draconian" and a "chokehold" on digital freedom. [6]

Focus: They specialize in legal challenges against mass surveillance and mandatory digital ID systems.
Website: Big Brother Watch
Action: You can contact them to share your experience, which helps them build evidence for potential legal challenges or parliamentary lobbying. [7]
3. Privacy & Policy Challenge (Open Rights Group) [8]
The Open Rights Group (ORG) is currently campaigning against invasive age verification technologies that threaten user anonymity and security. [8, 9, 10]

Focus: They argue that these systems create new security risks and undermine the right to privacy.
Website: Open Rights Group
Current Campaign: They are actively monitoring the rollout of the Online Safety Act and its impact on UK users. [8, 10]
4. Regulatory Accountability (Ofcom)
While Ofcom has publicly supported Apple's move, they are the government body responsible for these rules. [11, 12]

Action: Report your concerns about the accessibility of the verification (e.g., the exclusion of passports) and the lack of warning.
Portal: Ofcom Complaint Form
Phone: 0300 123 3333 (Ofcom Contact Details) [13]
Note on Strategy: When filing these complaints, emphasize the lack of warning in the update notes and the exclusion of valid government ID (passports), as these are the strongest grounds for arguing that the implementation is "unreasonable" under existing consumer and equality laws."

🥲 🇺🇸 CIA knew of Gulf dependence on water - and pushed them into Iran war anyway

As the Iran war enters yet another phase, this time with strikes targeting critical infrastructure, it is worth recalling that the US has long been aware of its Gulf allies' acute dependence on water desalination plants - a fact reflected in a classified CIA assessment from 1983.

Report’s key findings:

♦️ The UAE, Qatar and Kuwait derived around 80% of their municipal water from desalination

♦️ Bahrain obtained around 50% of its water through desalination, a figure expected to rise due to the depletion of natural sources — meaning its dependence is now even greater

♦️ Saudi Arabia’s crucial Eastern Province got over 50% of its potable water via desalination

♦️ Roughly 90% of the desalinated water came from 56 plants concentrated in just 29 locations

"Although the consequences will vary with the extent of each country’s dependence on desalination and the damage inflicted during an attack, the absence of well-developed security and emergency planning increases the likelihood of a disastrous outcome," the CIA file reads.

Meanwhile, Iran, with a small coastal population and huge natural sources, has little need for desalination, the CIA highlighted.
