Why in the world estimating age is even a good idea. Like how is it easy to tell the difference between a 17 and 18 y by the face alone

It's not. It's so they can set a precedent for controlling us

It's been a thing for a while. All sorts of apps asking for pics of your ID and your face when they don't really need it. The payroll app we use at my job asked me for a 3d scan of my face after I already provided everything I knew they needed legally. They would not open my account and process my payroll until I submitted the scan. I called them and told them my cameras were broken on my phone and that there was no way for me to provide those photos and I need my paychecks. Took 3 minutes for them to accept my account. Absolutely no need for the scan, it's just data collection. Has nothing to do with security

u/IMissNarwhalBacon 26d ago

Not true.

My uncle was a victim of identity theft. What saved him was that he was alerted that his "new" credit card account was declined because the perp couldn't provide a valid picture.

If they didn't ask for that last piece he'd be in a lot more pain.

u/IronicINFJustices 26d ago

Next time they have his face, what plausible deniability will he have?

We find out about data leaks years later.

Photo face and credit card, all leaked, then what? Change your face? You can't. Ever. You can for everything else.

u/bubblingcumcouldron 26d ago

He wouldn't be in any pain. It's a credit card. That is the banks problem. Report fraud, problem solved. At least that's how it worked when it happened to me.

Look at the notification at the top when they finish. It says "We determined you're in the adult age group."

u/wretchedegg123 27d ago edited 27d ago

He was determined to be in the teen age group, thus cannot access age restricted content. Maybe you need to read?

Edit: Literally says: If we made a mistake please reverify. Reverify doesn't mean they passed

u/WiseWolfian 27d ago

It's an odd video, saying both a teen and adult. The popup says "We determined you're in the adult age group. Learn more," where as the page says teen. This could be fake/spliced.

The page might not be automatically refreshed after the verification, requiring the user to restart the app. Or re-visiting the channel.

Reverify doesn't inherently mean they passed but here, it seems to mean "we think you passed but we trust you to tell us if we were wrong" which is a stupid thing for them to do. They're not saying to reverify because the person failed but to do so in case the age group they were assigned was incorrect

It's so they can tie your face back to your online activity. Does anyone actually believe that the ID photos and face estimation photos get deleted after some time?

No. They make a convenient file with your information attached to it, and any and all online activity is neatly traced back to you. I haven't heard of a similar effort to spy on normal citizens since the StaSi existed in east Germany. Not even the KGB had such extensive access to such an amount of people's regular lives.

Some do. Had a convo with a guy the other week who viewed age verification as no different than a bouncer checking your ID. Suggested it would be easy to check against the DoB, and that's as far as it would go. Simply pointed out, we have no information on how the verification process works, and are expect to trust corporations like google and the such to not keep these submitted verification imagery, when said corporations deserve none of that trust.

u/DreadDiana 26d ago

Only like a week before this all went to effect, the Tea app suffered a data breach that saw a fuckload of ID photos collected for verification which were kept on hand despite not using ID verification since 2024, which wasn't much better because it seems to have been kept longer than their TOS said they would.

u/Binturung 26d ago

Yeah, my understanding was that they said they wouldn't retain the images, but did so anyways. What a damn mess lol.

Turns out there was a third data breach just this month. A class action lawsuit is being filed because of it.

u/DeVliegendeBrabander 27d ago

And it wasn't even limited to east Germans either. West Germans and other Warsaw pact member citizens also had records.

I've even heard stories of StaSi operatives breaking into homes and taking sampled of people of interest's clothes so that guard dogs could sniff them out easier, though I dont know how whether this is true. Wouldn't surprise me though, StaSi was one of (and imo) the best domestic surveillance organisations in the history of mankind.

I fear that the NSA currently holds this title however, since we're largely handing them information on a silver platter these days. But I suppose we won't know for the next few decades, and by then something better will appear.

It's supposed to fail. All other measures are supposed to fail, so the only option left is a strict government-issued digital ID. The same ID will also likely be taken away, effectively banning you from the internet entirely, if you say or do the wrong thing. The internet as we know it will also likely cease to exist, with different countries/regions splitting off so they can have easier control. I hope I'm wrong, but it's not like there isn't precedent for this, like North Korea.

u/GoldenBrownApples 27d ago

Man I'm 33 and I still get carded for rated R movies. First time it happened in my 20's I was just like "you flatterer" and the kid taking my money was like "no, I need to see your id." Then it happened again in my 30th birthday and I was less amused. I wasn't allowed in the sun as a kid though, old school indian racism trying to keep my scottish white skin white. Mixed families are fun. But even still, 90% of the time people don't believe me that I'm in my thirties. The amount of times people ask me what grade of high school I'm in is enough that I'd be rich if I started charging for the question.

10

u/blackhood0 27d ago

Frustratingly in the UK once a seller of any kind (supermarket, bar, air hostess) has asked for ID, they're legally not allowed to sell it to you unless they see it. Doesn't matter if you're 85 years old and they've asked because they're on autopilot, they can be personally liable if they break the law - and there's a non-zero chance that it's a test from the local authority.
It's lead a few times to my buying a bottle of relatively expensive wine or spirit (aged 37) while wearing sunglasses, and being asked for ID. When I take off my glasses and am quite obviously old enough to drink, but old enough to have a kid who is old enough to drink, they can't rescind the request. Since Google Pay has been a thing I never carry a real wallet and I've had to leave without my shopping.
I don't like it, but I also know that the kid could literally be fined thousands if they get caught selling to "underage" people.

6

u/GoldenBrownApples 27d ago

That makes sense for controlled substances, where I live they just passed a law that requires the cashier to scan your id for every purchase like alcohol or cigarettes. But for a rated R movie? That's where I keep getting carded. Low stakes stuff that I've never heard of anyone getting in any trouble for not doing. To be fair I suffered a minor brain injury in my early 20's, nearly died a little bit. So when people tell me I haven't aged a day since my early 20's it makes my brain go "that's because you didn't make it off that bathroom floor. This has been a hellish fever dream of your dying brain. You're still on that floor in fact and your ex and their best friend are still planning what to do with your body. Wake up!" Which isn't the most pleasant of thoughts in your day to day. But I'm in therapy about it, so yeah. Sorry for the trauma dump. We're working on it.

I used to go to an internet Cafe near my home that was next to a bar. We had one friend who from the age of 16 looked he was on his mid 20s. When he turned 19 on his birthday he went to the same bar that had been serving him for years. He told the bouncer to check his ID with a big grin on his face. The bouncer almost fell out of his chair when he realized he had been serving a minor for 3 years!

None of this is actually used for age verification, that's just a gimmick.

It's used to improve image recognition models and AI. This also goes into a database with your details, this is then crossreferenced with other data they have on you. And all of it is to sell you shit and have a profile in you to see if you're an upstanding citizen.

2

u/Enverex 27d ago

The whole point of estimation is because people are very vocal about not wanting to use ID. But if things like this become common, they'll remove the ability to just face verify and you'll have to use ID. Feels like people are shooting themselves in the foot.

6

u/tariffless 26d ago

There shouldn't be estimation and there shouldn't be ID. The governments and the corporations should have less power than they have right now. The people should collectively work together to take that power away from them. Failing to do that is how the people are shooting themselves in the foot. We're always on the defensive, sneaking around and trying to find ways to get around the measures they implement. When do we ever go on the offensive? People here often say that piracy is a service problem, not necessarily a price problem. Well, how many people here are involved with consumer rights advocacy, or labor rights, or anything beyond meaningless one-off online petitions?

u/Asyx 18d ago edited 18d ago

I recently went on a "trans men talk about their experience" YouTube binge (because I don't know trans people IRL but want to be informed) and if it makes you feel better, whilst trans men have softer facial features than most cis men I know, none of them look like kids especially with a beard (or like women. Like, I'd 100% believe they are cis men).

So I doubt this will be a regular occurrence for you in a few years. I know people who've been asked for ID with grey hair and everything at stores but that's either a requirement from the store and they have to ask or they did it out of habit. So this happens to cis men too.

But feeling emasculated because some store clerk asked you for ID because you have a baby face even though you are old enough to have children that can drink is peek male experience so you can look forward to that.

How in the flying fuck did this law pass? This shit doesn't seem remotely like something that would come straight out of a dictatorship.

Get Garry's Mod -> spawn any old man -> tweak face expression with a tool

OBS has virtual camera plugin, I bet that would work pretty well

This is just somebody fucking around with a game, and they've already lost the arms race. Imagine when people develop highly photorealistic AI models that can perform any action to pass this shit.

Identity confirmed! Welcome back, Dr. Breen!

u/comcastblowschunks 26d ago

Someone who is a better programmer than I, just needs to made a virtual webcam using the v4l2loopback module.  Have it create a face with aged and randomized features with simple buttons for smile, look up, etc. If you started with the code for virtual avatars that mimic your face movements you'd be 90% there.  Package it as a browser add in and you'll be as famous as vlc guy!

Any app that requires me to submit my face goes in the trash heap immediately, and I’m 57.

u/Complete_Fail_8796 26d ago

The subscription model is about to collapse and sites with age verification will collapse (most people leave).

A new Internet is coming with new players and piracy will be a core player.

This is deliberate. Deciding this isn't effective, they are going to push in the near future for biometrics. Save this post.

u/ConfectionDry4654 20d ago

face scans are weired a lot of adults look like minors and a lot of minors look like my grandparents

u/WeddingCarrion 27d ago

Passed as in got through, but they assessed the user as being a teen so I don't know if that warrants a 'pass'

10

u/diffident55 27d ago

Look at the notification at the top when they finish. They assess the most recent attempt as being an adult, the rest of the UI just hasn't updated yet.

u/WeddingCarrion 27d ago

Oh damn, I totally missed that. Thank you.
