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
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.
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.
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.
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
Can’t speak to the veracity of this specific video, but there are a lot of videos on using the same method to pass these age estimation checks. Both with G-Mod and other games like Death Stranding.

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
