Yeah I hate this. Glad I’m not using it much anymore anyway but damnnnn. I’m convinced they’re rolling this out under the guise of child safety but with the profit motive of data harvesting for their donors

and fuck the UK goverment
Brit here, I say fuck the UK government
Fucking Red Tories
It's weird how they voted against it as opposition, but as soon as they took power just let it in.
Almost as if that's what they wanted all along.
UK politicians are among the worst. The US certainly has some trash but holy shit are there some real creatures in Parliament.

What’s preventing you from uploading a random photo for that estimate age from selfie button?

It is fucking mental that an industry plagued by data harvesting is being asked to harvest more data.
Anyway, I'm now in Belgium according to my VPN.
What happens if everyone just uploads the same 1 photo/ID?
Yeah I already left Reddit because (one of the reasons) they wouldnt let you open NSFW content without downloading their app on mobile. Having to submit ID is just way too ridiculous.

So I don't have a horse in the race, but I am curious if you follow the link to estimate age from selfie, and claimed some random picture of a politician is your selfie, would that work?
From what I have heard it's absolute bare minimum level of checks so it will probably work

people will not let this become the norm (aka persona hq bombings, im predicting that)
They will. People tolerate shitloads. They doubly tolerate it if you tell them to think of the children and point out the only reason they could possibly be offended by this is if they were some kind of pedophile.
If you've nothing to hide, you've nothing to fear. Now submit to increasing orwellian surveillance.
