    Discord age verification last night happily told me that I appear to be a teenager.

    (Me: with an increasingly grey beard.)

    This morning I learn that Discord age verification is broken for *everyone*.

    (Golf clap.)

    @cstross If only this might have been anticipated and avoided in some way.

      @lispi314 I suspect the on-device video-based age mechanism is broken because they'd like to drive people towards the upload-your-government-ID-documents option.

      Not going to happen.

          You're young at heart, I'm sure, and most likely walk with a spring in your step. Perhaps they've detected that.

            @cstross May I point out that Peter Thiel and Palantir are one of the funders of their "age verification tech".

            πŸ˜‚ πŸ˜† 😝

                  @cstross @fuzzygroup which they'd probably also categorise as a teenager

                            @cstross @otfrom it's a video that shows someone drew a face on their thumb, and used that for the discord id, and discord accepted it and said they were 12-15. There's a lot of other videos showing how easily it can be fooled.
