Strickland calls out Josh Hokit’s persona: ‘You’re almost 30, drop the act’

UFC fighter Sean Strickland criticized rising heavyweight Josh Hokit’s controversial persona ahead of UFC 328, telling him to drop the over-the-top act since he’s almost 30 and already known. Strickland, who says they’re friends, says the manufactured image feels like a WWE skit, citing Hokit’s week of provocations including a confrontation with Jiri Prochazka and odd media-day moments after Hokit rose into the heavyweight top five with a win over Curtis Blaydes at UFC 327.

Discord’s UK age-check pilot with Persona triggers privacy backlash

Discord’s UK-era age-verification pilot with Persona drew backlash over how data was handled and stored, amid fears of government access and privacy risks. Discord said most data were deleted after age confirmation and that Persona is no longer a partner; the test ran for under a month, raising questions about data retention, vendor transparency, and trust as the platform plans broader age checks.

Discord’s Age Check Trial Sparks Palantir Ties and Privacy Fears

As part of preparing for the UK Online Safety Act, Discord is testing global age-verification via the Persona service, with some users already prompted ahead of a March rollout. Persona is backed by Founders Fund, whose ties to Peter Thiel and Palantir have drawn privacy concerns about surveillance and data use. Discord describes the test as limited and says any collected data will be stored for seven days, though the broader long‑term use remains unclear.

Discord's age-verification rollout may temporarily store UK selfies for up to 7 days

Discord's global 'teen-by-default' age-verification rollout will require facial age estimation or ID to access certain features; UK users now see FAQ language indicating selfies and identity data may be processed by the Persona age-assurance vendor and stored temporarily for up to seven days before deletion, a shift from the promise that data would never leave the device. Discord says data is blurred and only what's needed is used, but concerns persist about vendor ties and past data breaches as the rollout begins in March.
