This is what is shown now when you have to verify
yeah cause a child has never used a parent’s credit card without their knowledge
Verification Can
How do they check that the face you send is your own?
Yeah what’s stopping me from stealing my neighbors and wearing it /s
Based on stories from friends (very trustworthy source) something they can it’s AI generated or compare it your posts to search for a match
Idk how true that is but it’s what I’ve heard

“to protect children from our website we are amassing a database of coerced child images on our website.”
are you kidding me with this shit. I knew bluesky was a foul joke but going beyond that is both unnecessary and redundant.
They’re complying with UK law, as I understand it. At least, that’s what some other articles talking about how Reddit was gonna have to implement checks for >18 content.
Aren’t AI tools supposed to be bad with adversarial examples? Someone could make an app that generates an image which (independently) appears to be you and also appears to be old enough.
I’m glad they at least tried to make an alternative to the stupid AI estimation. Even if this is hardly any better. I wonder if a VISA Debit card would pass muster, or do they have those in the UK.
Of course, the primary harm of kids not being able to use social media is also pretty significant—but there’s only so much you can do when you’re actually breaking the law. Except switch to dread, I guess.
