- Twitch now requires facial age verification to watch mature content in some regions using video selfies processed on your device.
- The system uses k-ID technology and targets gambling streams and other 18+ content to comply with new online safety laws.
- Users must scan their face to access restricted streams with many expressing privacy concerns about the new requirement.
Can’t you just ai generate a face?
Still sound like a really bad idea for that list to exist at all.
We’ve had more than enough persecuting the bath tub users
we must stop this vicious anti-privacy movement
if you can make a rotatable 3D model of it…
maybe gmod will be more useful. They’ll have a massive dataset of dr.breen face scan trying to goon.

It’s so hilarious that they never considered that part of the same tech they use to recognize a face is also used to create virtual ones so these work arounds work incredibly well.
yeah but I wonder how aren’t they recognizing it that thousands of people have the same face. do they just not care?
Because that’s not what it looks for and there is likely no human review of anything. It just looks to make sure it matches being a human face, and pretty much just by shape and lighting.
ok but that seems to fall into the they don’t care category. surely they could run a facial recognition algorithm on the faces and store some kind of a hash for anomaly detection. hell public transport companies are storing travel history for years for the purpose of cheating detection and they get away with it, no way a serious thing like this wouldn’t do that
Most of these things are being scrambled to put in place due to new laws being passed. They are literally doing the bare minimum to comply while also being able to collect even more data than they were previously. They don’t actually care about keeping kids away from adult content; they want pictures of your face associated with your social media accounts so they can control you. A few smart people working around it right now isn’t an issue for them. They won’t care until those are the only people left who haven’t uploaded their face.
