My take from this Cybernews article about an Android toolkit to trick KYC verification significantly differs from theirs!

Them: "...the existence of such tools puts users and organizations at imminent risk." "Not a tool for the masses"

Me: "Where can I find this amazing Privacy tool?" "A tool the masses everywhere need access to ASAP"
