Facebook/Meta has developed software to estimate the age from a video.

I don’t see any way that this can be enforced that isn’t problematic.

Comes with the territory. The point is to control who has access to what information so that they don't get wrong ideas.

if you think AI software will be able to differentiate between a 15 year old and 16 year old then I have this cool bridge in Brooklyn that you might be interested in.

This is delusional to the point where it feels like we're literally devolving.

Trusting your face to Facebook is just as terrifying, thanks.

(Plus I have concerns as someone who still looks teenage in her 20s)
