Seems to me, there's no real way to age verify people. This is pointless.

Want ID? Kids can just upload a fake one.

The app wants access to your phone's camera, so it can use ai to assess your age? Well I don't know for certain, but I'm 99.9% there's probably a way to trick your phone into using a virtual camera, showing images of a middle-aged man.

What ever method of age verification, someone will figure out a way to trick it, and kids will be onto the trick very quickly.

There are far too many people who will benefit financially from this to allow that to happen.

Orly? Can you give me a couple of examples?

I'm opposed to this trend myself, btw. But I just interpreted as a bit of pointless over regulation by a bunch of populist nanny-statists. You're telling me there's financial interests involved as well?

You've obviously neverheard of the illustrious 8th century Norwegian King, Eystein the Fart.
