SCAN FACE TO PLAY: PlayStation ID Verification

YouTube

@gavin57 @GnomeBones It's via #Yoti and it's, "facial scan, ID or mobile number". It's required for "communication features", i.e. messages and voice chat.

Nope, I don't want to encourage this nonsense.

E-mail from Sony. They require age verification, via #Yoti, to allow "communication features" (messages, voice chat).

Feck off. No, all the way off.

I'd like to contact Minecraft to tell them we don't want to provide biometric information to "yoti" to do age/id verification.

But I can't find any way to contact the right team.

Does anyone know?

The question to be asked here is, do I want to give my personal data to a company called #Yoti to allow me to access Microsoft's made-by-focus-group shovelware.

Probably not.
