Drew Harwell / Washington Post: A look at AI age scanners, which websites use to verify a person’s age by analyzing their facial patterns via webcam to help safeguard kids online — “Age assurance” checks are increasingly popular among lawmakers trying to wall kids off from the open internet.
I’d be shocked that parents would allow a company to video record their children. I just see this as biometric data harvesting in its infancy.
Haha, no. There’s not a single website or service I’d accept being forced to show my face to AI that I would continue to use. If Steam required that, I would delete it from my computer.
They can fuck all the way off with that. Maybe parents should try parenting…?
“give us the key you use to get into many of your devices and we’ll let you use our service!”
If you’re using your face to log in to things, you’re not concerned about security.
I don’t, but many people do use their faces to unlock things
Yeah sorry didn’t mean you in particular
no offense taken.
Great idea. Nothing could possibly go wrong.
