How about we stop logging the image of every human on the planet under the guise of "security." I've seen how much respect corporations have for security in the annual teardown of hacked company's email and password lists. I'm not interested in you having a copy of my face along with my bank card info, address, birthdate, and full name all underneath an exhaustive arbitration agreement, because when you lose it, I'll be the one that gets fucked, and you'll get another slap on the fucking wrist.

Don't forget some states want us to give our government-issued IDs to porn sites. What could go wrong.

Think of the children.

[-] ricecake@sh.itjust.works 4 points 5 months ago

Honestly, I trust the porn sites more than I'd trust the video game makers or like... Banks. At least when it comes to data security.

I remember when the new German id was rolled out that it could potentially just tell a website whether the user was an adult or not. But nobody seems to use it for that purpose. From the last time I tried to use my ID to identify myself I must conclude that it simply doesn't work.

They "don't keep" the pictures, they "permanently delete" them from their servers "immediately" after taking a wild stab at the person's age. Allegedly.

Beyond idiotic idea, not like it matters most people buy games online now.

“You must have a webcam enabled to complete this purchase.”

Hey dad, come over here and stare at the screen for a bit.

Jesus, it's not kids buying these games. It's parents buying them for kids. The only people this would prevent would be removeds, teens who have their own jobs who pay for their own things. And even then, guaranteed they have the guy who buys them beer anyway.

Alright so am I the only one that thinks it's worse to have removed instead of whatever it was that you actually meant? It's like not showing the monster in a movie, the mind just runs wild ...

[-] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 7 points 5 months ago

The hell word did you remove

[-] scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech 1 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Oh, removed, during the scam attacks that was a common title and I banned it on my instance. I can unban it now that I set up an automod.

Edit. lol. Sixteen year old

Hey dad, come over here and stare at the screen for a bit.

Pfft. No, you just download a sketchy webcam emulator and video of a dude looking into the camera

[-] Cyberspark@sh.itjust.works 6 points 5 months ago

Nah, you just have an AI generate a looped clip of a person and feed that in. I'm ready for the infinity AI feedback loop

Where's that mountain dew pasta?

[-] Even_Adder@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 5 months ago

Doritos and Dew dew it right.

Imagine Microsoft makes the Kinect mandatory again.

have to do Rasputin dance to log in to MS Teams

I can't wait for kids to be able to bypass parental controls based solely on being able to fool a computer into thinking they're adults, while some adults are unable to bypass parental controls based solely on them having a young looking face

[-] Socsa@sh.itjust.works 10 points 5 months ago

Not no but fuck no. I don't give a shit what other people's children do on the internet.

[-] Overlock@sopuli.xyz 5 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Is that just based on a picture of someone's face?

How about https://thispersondoesnotexist.com ?

[-] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 months ago

Apparently it needs a live human, and a picture won't work. No, I could not find any info on how they plan to make sure that the image they send to their servers for age guesstimation knows whether the picture is of a real human
