Step 1: Print a photo of your dad.
Step 2: Hold it up to the camera.
Step 3: Play Resident Evil 7.
Another reason why DRM is bad and only punishes those who buy the product
They’re afeared of guillotines. If you put everyone under surveillance it gets much harder to build them.
Can I vote for a Guillotine Party candidate?
yarrrrrr
I don't think the day before your 18th/25th birthday and the day on your 18th birthday your face looks so much different.
this is just another means of spying.
Drink verification can.
Any images and data used for this process are never stored
Anyone who believes this deserves it.
Since it determines if you're over the age of 25, maybe instead they could get a more accurate measure by having you drink a verification beer.
Can anybody actually remember voting for totalitarian control freaks who seem to be scared of people who are not under constant surveillance?
Everyone who votes Republican votes for this.
While true, unfortunately the latest government spy bill is bipartisan. It will make end to end encryption for texts and chat illegal, using drug enforcement as the excuse.
Nearly a quarter of Americans say that a strong leader who doesn’t have to bother with Congress or elections would be “fairly” or “very good” and 18 percent say that “army rule” would be “fairly” or “very good.” More than a quarter of respondents show at least some support for either a “strong leader” or “army rule.”

A disturbing minority of human beings unironically prefer being under a boot.
we won't ever ever keep your pictures and stuff for the juiciest possible marketing fodder, we super duper pinky swear
To be perfectly clear: Any images and data used for this process are never stored, used for AI training, used for marketing, or shared with anyone; the only piece of information that is communicated to the company requesting VPC is a “Yes” or “No” determination as to whether the person is over the age of 25.
I'd have a hard time coming up with a better lie than this.
I'll either avoid buying anything with this tech or pirate it. I want this idea to be 6 foot under as soon as possible.
All I see is one more reason to turn to piracy
Can people who stop trying to throw tech at things where it clearly doesn’t belong? Seems like every time I turn around people are trying to use AI for things with the expectation that it’s some flawless innovation that can do no wrong.
And that’s not even getting into the privacy nightmare that comes with things like this
Finally a use for all those Obama masks
Thanks Obama!
Because this strategy worked so well for determining individuals' assigned sex at birth. What could possibly go wrong?
It already has gone wrong.
There’s a story about a gay couple here in Sweden. One of the men lived with his mother.
One morning, around 3-4AM I think, a group of masked men went into his apartment and woke him up violently. They physically abused him, before they took him away.
Eventually he was taken to an interrogation room where he was questioned about a child he had supposedly sexually assaulted.
At some point they showed him pictures of him and this purported child, only said child was his very much adult, twink-ass boyfriend.
He and his boyfriend had shared the images with one another over a chat service, like Kik or something, which some American organisation had gotten their hands on, and then forwarded to Swedish police.
Swedish police then swatted him, and when they stood there with egg on their face the investigation was dropped. No repercussions for the police. None of the people who brutally assaulted the man got any sort of punishment, because he wasn’t able to identify any of them, since they were masked and he shockingly didn’t have X-ray vision, and the police had magically lost all records of who they sent out to bring him in.
Thinking back on this still fills me with rage. I’ve always thought our police were fairly chill and approachable, nothing like the gun toting cowards in the US, but no. It seems like ACAB holds true everywhere.
Well, assigning age at birth worked well so far…
The craziest coincidence, everyone I've asked was assigned the same age at birth. Small world.
Depends on where you’re from. Koreans count you as one year old when you’re born.
Aren't they dropping that system soon?
Saw an app try exactly this. It was run by terfs and they wanted to lock out anyone who wasn't a cis woman. Instead it labelled almost every black woman a man and many trans women got through the filter anyway.

Does anyone have some bridges for sale? I suddenly feel an urge to buy a bridge.
The same esrb that is almost irrelevant? That esrb?
Pay: ESRB facial recognition + Denuvo system monitor + custom launcher with system privileges + game
Pirate: game
This type of stuff only punishes paying customers.
Yo ho ho mother fuckers
Can we get someome else to write this article? It literally linked to everything BUT the FTC comment website on this garbage.
Can't figure out if this is for parents that want that enabled or age verification for everyone?
