Are you over 18?

  • Yes
  • No
This isn’t considered verification in the UK from what I can tell. Companies are now implementing AI face scans, ID checks and credit card verification to comply with the UK law. I’m not a lawyer or even British, but it wouldn’t make sense to me that companies would spend money to turn away their UK customers otherwise.
How are they checking that your website’s face scans are actually ‘working’ and not just passing everyone?
Also what stops someone just getting OBS virtual webcam and just feed it stock video of some old geezer…?

They make you do things like open your mouth and smile

You’d have to use a video game… Which people are doing

New business idea, renting out your face via video feed to let people bypass age checks.
Rough business model to compete with free
Even if 3D images are required, surely there are 3D deepfake faces people can wear. But anyway, we’re being distracted by the part of this law that stops kids going online. The quiet part is the part that gets every adult to show their real face to some website. They need deepfake faces just as much if not more so.
Oh yeah, definitely. That is indeed the purpose of this and the problem here
The video game trick doesn’t work everywhere. I don’t know about deepfakes and such, both how easily available they are and how good they are at tricking the age verification.
