Apparently it needs a live human, and a picture won’t work. No, I could not find any info on how they plan to make sure that the image they send to their servers for age guesstimation knows whether the picture is of a real human
I can’t wait for kids to be able to bypass parental controls based solely on being able to fool a computer into thinking they’re adults, while some adults are unable to bypass parental controls based solely on them having a young looking face
How about we stop logging the image of every human on the planet under the guise of “security.” I’ve seen how much respect corporations have for security in the annual list of hacked companies email and password lists. I’m not interested in you having a copy of my face along with my bank card info, address, birthdate, and full name all underneath an exhaustive arbitration agreement, because when you lose it, I’ll be the one that gets fucked, and you’ll get another slap on the fucking wrist.
I remember when the new German id was rolled out that it could potentially just tell a website whether the user was an adult or not. But nobody seems to use it for that purpose. From the last time I tried to use my ID to identify myself I must conclude that it simply doesn’t work.
They “don’t keep” the pictures, they “permanently delete” them from their servers “immediately” after taking a wild stab at the person’s age. Allegedly.
Hey dad, come over here and stare at the screen for a bit.
Jesus, it’s not kids buying these games. It’s parents buying them for kids. The only people this would prevent would be removeds, teens who have their own jobs who pay for their own things. And even then, guaranteed they have the guy who buys them beer anyway.
Alright so am I the only one that thinks it’s worse to have removed instead of whatever it was that you actually meant? It’s like not showing the monster in a movie, the mind just runs wild …
