There’s no hard facts about what the hell they’re actually planning, it’s just a fluff press release.
They claim that PACTs will be some sort of token that sites and services that can confirm you are a human or “trusted AI agent” can grant you to allow other sites to better identify you as good, but that these tokens will also somehow be entirely anonymous and unable to be used to track an identity across multiple sites and services. At absolute best this will create a sort of “chain of trust” hierarchy where people who use more popular services tied to their real identity would gather more PACTs or have “higher trust” ones, just consolidating digital power further.
Also, the first quote from Cloudflare’s CTO has them claiming that people are starting to use AI agents to order them meal deliveries. Lmao, in what universe?




















On paper, it’s an official government news app being pushed over MDM to phones that are definitionally government property. There’s not really ground to stand on here.
The fact that it’s pure propaganda rather than an actually useful source of executive branch news is more a problem of the “White House News feed” or whatever you want to call it. It’s a big fucking important problem.
But this is effectively whining that the fleet car you borrowed from work phones it’s GPS location home. Oh no, a phone your work bought and paid for runs apps your work auto installs to it? Then only use it for work shit bozo, it’s not your personal device.
