I thought that they were deleting the photos immediately after verification. They didn’t??? Why aren’t these companies being investigated and punished?
This is from the leak last year. What leaked was pictures uploaded to their ticket system to appeal the result of a failed verification.

…so you are saying their verification process is so broken that hundreds of thousands of people had to appeal a false reading. Broken and insecure, what a look.
Replying to @III@lemmy.world
It depends on the ratio of failed to successful, really. If there are hundreds of millions of successful verifications, that’s a fairly low failure rate.
