Australia’s Teen Social Media Ban Is Just Training A Generation In The Art Of The Workaround - tchncs

YouTube tried to age verify me and couldn’t do it using the card I’ve been paying them with, so I figured I’d let people know you can beat YouTube’s selfie age verification with high resolution videos. I used a 4k video of Evan Edinger and it just accepted that was me, despite being a mediocre phone camera aimed at what should clearly be a screen.
You do realise the consequence of sharing that you can do this? All the new propaganda media gonna have a row of kids with his face AI’d all over. 6 hairstyles but same face…all saying their life has been saved by the social media ban.

The more people that know how to bypass it the better. All it takes, for YouTube at least, is a high quality video of someone speaking to the camera.

Break all the age verification systems, bypass anything, be free.

Preaching to the choir here. I am all about the privacy, the bypass…my freedom.
