Bet that this won’t stop anyone from using it. People are sheep. Easily pacified and all too willing to give up whatever is requested for even the tiniest of endorphin boosts.

Is it just a selfie? I can still access NSFW reddit content without even logging in though.
Is it only a selfie? AI gen go brrr?
Nah. An image of government ID. “But we don’t need your information, just confirmation of age” 🫠 forget that.
I don't have any government ID

Cool brah
Makes sense. How do they know your a male looking for hetero pic unless you send them your penis to prove it.
That said, as someone who has posted stuff like that and had it spread without my consent, screw (very much not literally) consuming that shit without taking the same risks as the people sharing what they get off to.
I do think its gross to require it for the other NSFW stuff. Drug forums are very important resources for harm reduction.
What if I just have AI generate a fake selfie with a fake ID? Are they gonna use AI to check it against a database? Well, I actually have my AI write a bunch of malware into the image and now I've hacked into the mainframe and downloaded your entire porn database. Suck on that harddrive
They've been doing that for most NSFW communities for a while. It's called a Verification Post.
