    Why is this on Uplifting News? This is dangerous… age verification exists on many sites for a reason. 😵‍💫

      Okay, like what? Give me an example of why scanning your face or giving them your ID is helpful for “safety.”

      Yes, and that reason is intrusive tracking. In no way do these bills keep children any safer. It doesn’t even aim to try to do that.

    If they use AI for all this shit couldn’t you just take a picture of a fake ID and it’d work? Like, just use the sample one they have on your states respective DMV website. If not, just take a picture of your ID and photoshop new information. I can’t imagine they are actually trying that hard to stop it.
