What if I'm actually a set of traffic lights and the AI can't work out what I am from my selfie?
I identify as a zebra crossing.

POV: You're the intern tasked with reviewing the selfies.
thats not what pov means, upload a selfie as punishment

Did you not read my proposal? How does sending a header with extra information make the world a worse place for everyone else?
Please explain in detail, so I know you aren't just a troll who needs to oppose everything just because?
How does sending a header with extra information make the world a worse place for everyone else?
It still requires arbitration of every digitally communicated thought, whether it's age appropriate and to what degree. It's mass thought policing, as well as trying to enforce a cookiecutter morality on every person.
I get the desire to enforce thoughts on someone else. But fight it, please. At least let people be free in their own mind.
Especially since the tools to achieve your stated goal, protection of your child(ren), are already available. So you can perform your censorship desire in the confinement of your family bubble. No need for collateral damage.

Lmao when the "anonymous" online forum requires de-anonymizing, I want to hope everyone leaves
Some people will leave, the rest will ride it out as Reddit continues to transform itself into Facebook

That could very well be the POV of the intern having to approve career gooners

Finally it seems the end of Reddit is near.
Yeah, fuck all that.
Guess we're transitioning into a VPN only future.
We have the opportunity to head into a utopic or dystopic future and we're absolutely choosing the dystopic one.

“Reddit has stressed that this system is only to verify users' age, and it has no interest in your identity. Lee further stated that Persona won't know what subreddits you visit, and has promised it won't keep users' uploaded images more than seven days.”
Press X to doubt.
Oh the cute little corpo is promising to delete your data, how can we not trust him🥺🥺

Is this the onion?

Under the new UK law, lemmynsfw would also need to have some kind of age verification for UK users.
Or it can just defederate from UK based instances.
.zip has already been trying to figure out how to handle this law, its also UK based.

It'll almost certainly be an AI model doing it.

And it would know the difference how?
They can force you to use your phone's camera. Due to faceID, modern phones have fairly sophisticated cameras that can tell the difference between a static image and a 3d physical face.

.zip blocks users from the UK iirc.

I don't think we ever really had a choice

does the federated nature of lemmy/piefed/kbin/etc prevent governments from taking action against them?
It makes it harder at least.
The government can try to take action on an instance, but there's still every other instance. -
I've once attempted to open a bank account where they wanted video proof, and expected me to say a randomly assigned phrase, to solve the issue you mention.
I didn't do it. Fucking KYC is BS.
As much as I dislike it, it makes sense for banks to do that.

u/spez was the lead moderator of r/jailbait, and when he was caught, he got rid of mod transparency. Ghilisaine Maxwell was likely a l lead moderator of news Reddits as well (u/MaxwellHill). Reddit has always been compromised.

Indeed. With our current system it was only a matter of time. As soon as the internet became a default thing which everyone needed to access just to function in their daily lives, it would of course be subjected to the exact same exploitative mechanisms that the non-internet part of our lives have suffered from since the dawn of history.

Have you ever looked at how age rating systems work? It has absolutely nothing to do with "arbitration of every digitally communicated thought", "thought policing" or "cookiecutter morality".
With this brainrot conspiracy level post of yours you outed yourself as a troll.
Keep your conspiracies, or better get help. That kind of stuff is not healthy.
