Brits can get around Discord's age verification thanks to Death Stranding's photo mode, bypassing the measure introduced with the UK's Online Safety Act. We tried it and it works—thanks, Kojima

Neither is taking a picture of nearly any stranger about to take a bite of food at a fast food place and then walking over and snapping another picture of them. What they gonna do about it?
Can't say about any stranger, but you and I would have a problem.

You don't need a google account to use android.
No you don't, but like I say, I'm talking about the majority of users.
Again though, and I'm copying this from a previous response, I think it's worth remembering that this is a suggestion, and not even originally mine. If you're happier to use the current multitude of age verification services that differ on a per-site basis, with all the security vulnerabilities, risk, and inconvenience that entails, then feel free. Or bypass them using the methods suggested.
I'm literally just providing a better technical solution than has been implemented. What I'm not suggesting is "this is the answer to everyone's problem".

Great! Now everyone is identifiable through their Google or Apple account.
Also people like me where the phone has no clue about my age are out too.
No, the site wouldn't know the account, it's the device providing the verification.

Wow now the site knows my google account, way better than sending a picture of myself.
No, I don't know where you've got that idea from.

Wasn't exactly this talked about a few years ago?

Spoiler alert- the point isn't to keep kids from looking at porn, it's to keep adults from looking at it too.
Do you actually believe the government care about people not watching porn? The whole point is mass surveillance and to extend ID verification to the internet.

You can't use a picture of me eating noodles to open a bank account.
How about two gym memberships and a library card?

That works too. Then Google knows that you are using this porn site.
If only the phone itself does the verification, it is just like klicking yes with extra steps.

So hows this gonna verify anything?

To be fair, the game's rated 18+ in the UK. In terms of the law, this probably doesn't suffice. But theoretically, there still is a kind of age-check in place :'D

You're welcome to Google "device-based age verification" to get any answers you need, from wiser minds than mine.

I'd recommend Googling "device-based age verification" to get more information. I'm not here to convince you of anything.

Results may vary.

Tbh just take any stock photo from image search online

Just get an AI to generate a face. If it's prepared to accept photos from video games and it'll probably accept AI generated images.
Not really that I expected competence.

Man I thought we had it bad over here in the US, tf going on over there now?

I think the issue there is the k-ID software asks you to do things like open your mouth, then close your mouth - so you'd need to find stock photos of the same person doing stuff like that. Which, now that I think about it, I imagine there will be an influx of selfies of people with closed and open mouths available on google images very soon.
Open my mouth? That is so fucking repulsive I can't describe it in words.

Oh sure. But what could you really do about some weird kid taking pictures of you in public?

That game is going to get really popular now with some folks not even playing it. lol

From what the article says the app watches you while you change expressions as prompted, so you can't use AI-generated still images. That's why using a game's photo mode, where you can toggle the CG facial expression around in real time while pointing your camera at it, is such a clever solution.
