So, i was thinking…they for sure will not allow you to use your face to verify multiple accounts (just like how you can’t use your email or phone number to verify on multiple accounts) otherwise everyone would just use the same image to bypass the age verification so how do identical twins do? I am sure that AIs (and human operators too, tbf) will just guess that it’s the same person

    …cool. I hadn’t considered this issue yet, despite being an identical twin.

    (We look different enough it probably will be fine in me and twin’s case, but others, guh)

    At least in this country, once they’ve verified your age, they aren’t allowed to keep your information.

    I don’t believe for a microsecond that they actually obey that law (which is why I won’t verify my age anywhere) but it’d be an instant admission of guilt if they pulled that.

      I am sure that i explained that in the post…if they don’t let you verify multiple account with the same face and AIs think that the twin faces are the same face, they could reject one of the two, though i wonder if they actually check if the same face was already used because now that i am out of the shower i realized that it’s gonna take some time and energy to check if the face was already used

    Many people verified themselves using other people’s id when it was introduced in the UK

    ttbomk, the companies don’t care.

    It was a few years ago? when a woman in Taiwan showed a video where her co-worker could open her phone, because the face-recognition logic in Apple phones is calibrated to Whites, not to Asians.

    I think that there are only 2 biometrics which ought be used:

    1. bloodvessels-in-fingers/hands
    2. retinas, blood-vessels again.

    There are some diseases which monkey that, for people with those conditions, & injuries can monkey them too,

    but making the bloodvessels-in-hands one be normal would mean that “ghoulies”, cloned fingerprints that someone wears as rubbery coverings on their fingers, iirc, would be blocked by that, so would the tape-copying-fingerprint trick…

    & making it so that the retina-scan was only done in higher-security settings, & only where you have to peer into the machine, not where it’s scanning everybody who’s in the lobby ( another story I read ),

    & having iris-scanning for people who have retina-degenerative-conditions/injuries, as backup…

    etc…

    Face-scanning’s a stupid “security”.

    Got beaten-up? now you can’t open your phone.

    Someone’s got you at gunpoint, & they just hold your phone up at you, & it unlocks?

    That isn’t security, that is authority-theatre.

    Which I’m fed-up with.

      They’re pushing age verification because what they really want is identity verification. Why do government agencies and giant corporations want to verify your digital identity and build a massive database? Doesn’t matter, they can’t have it.
