Hang on though. What I was challenging was your claim UK is pushing identity verification. That's different.
- iamnothere 8mo agoIn the age of facial recognition, a “video selfie” is easily translated into an identity. And besides, websites should not be collecting “video selfies” of children, for any reason.
- chrisjj 8mo agoBut not translated into indentity verification. And there's no suggestion age verification websites are collecting video selfies of children.
- iamnothere 8mo agoHere’s how this is going to work, in reality: - 13 year old does video selfie - 13 year old is flagged as too young, might be growing slower than their peers - 13 year old has to upload an ID to prove they are of age - Identity provider claims they delete the ID but oops they don’t actually do that and there’s a data breach
- chrisjj 8mo agoYes, could happen. And to adults too. The social media site might choose to avoid this by stopping at #2. Leading to complaints from 14-yr-olds denied their right to social media.
