there, had to blurt something out on the wafrn admin account

I fucking hate this "age-verification" shit so much.

instead of trying to reinvent the torment nexus for the 318th time, how about you put all that work and funding into fighting the addictive patterns in apps? how about you put that funding towards educating parents of the functionality that devices have nowadays to restrict content for their own children?

It is SO, SO MUCH more effective to do this at the parent-level than it is trying to AI your way out of it.

And FUCK we DON'T WANT YOUR DATA. We DON'T WANNA STORE IT, it's a LIABILITY.

@alexia #KYC IS the #IllicitActivity!

WTF not all juristictions even allow demanding an ID for something. In fact unless one's one of the few listed types of businesses or a government institution, it's illegal to request, process or store IDs in Germany due to the ease at which they can be abused for impersonation and scams.
- In fact a lot of scammers are the prime reason why even @bsi disrecommends handing over any ID or allowing anyone to scan those that don't have a "legitimate interest".

So unless it's a car rental, hotel, bank, money transfer service or centralized shitcoin exchange where insurance/fraud protection, AML & CTF applies, even requesting an ID is a no-no!
