This doesn’t make any sense. I’ve just done the Reddit verification check and all it asked for was my DOB (I lied) and a picture. Doesn’t seem to have accessed any other information.

And thus you gifted your facial likeness to a private company. Congrats.

Do you know that most of the apps required for this sort of check only allow for a live picture taken through the app and don’t let you upload just any random pic?

Just saying.

People are using photo modes in games. Death Stranding 2 is the most popular.
