They will. People tolerate shitloads. They doubly tolerate it if you tell them to think of the children and point out the only reason they could possibly be offended by this is if they were some kind of pedophile.
If you’ve nothing to hide, you’ve nothing to fear. Now submit to increasing orwellian surveillance.
Yeah I already left Reddit because (one of the reasons) they wouldnt let you open NSFW content without downloading their app on mobile. Having to submit ID is just way too ridiculous.
I was forced out of reddit, as are many through their schemes of removing accounts that doesn’t adhere to propaganda standards
They permabanned me claiming that I had posted the Alligator Auschwitz video and called it Bullying ( violating rule 1). Their evidence when I appealed? A screenshot of the video with “deleted” as the poster. Thing is, the only subs I ever posted to were niche hobby subs. I would comment in politics subs and news subs, but not post. I can’t even lie, it hurts to lose access to some of those subs since Lemmy simply doesn’t fill the void yet.
So I don’t have a horse in the race, but I am curious if you follow the link to estimate age from selfie, and claimed some random picture of a politician is your selfie, would that work?
From what I have heard it’s absolute bare minimum level of checks so it will probably work
Idk but it probably forces use of ur camera and uses faceid features. can’t just upload a random photo
As those policies are enforced client side, an industrious person could probably see how it works and do whatever. I can’t seem to trigger any age verification to see, but if it works in a web browser, you can pretty much rewrite everything about it and make it upload whatever you like.
Sy far the only ones I’ve seen are scenarios where I have to upload photo to match my appearance when I show up in person to something, so it’s not useful in that context, but I’m suspecting this scenario is similar.
The counter argument could be that if a person has that ability, they are probably close enough to being an adult and/or have earned their technically illegal access to porn, and the site operator made a good earnest attempt that stands up to casual lying.
VPN, friend
Discord is the same now
Unfortunately they require “proof of liveness”, you have to open your mouth or tilt your head or whatever. There are ways around it but I too have nuked my Reddit account and returned to Lemmy today.
Gross
Why dont they just offer some government id api service that Reddit can use? Giving away ur id and shit for everything is insane
Every country has their own, and they usually have pretty strict guidelines with who can access it.
its much easier to outsource this process to llms (or, much more likely, people manually checking it somewhere in Philippines)
Britain is the one to enforce this, so Britain should provide a way to do it imo, fair if the government has a partnership with a private actor to do it. But the government should absolutely have a stake and do oversight.
They’re compromised.
I worked for an early AI project for [large tech giant]. While there, Alexis Ohanian came into the office and talked to my boss about using reddit’s content (your posts and probably private correspondence, too, we got it from every other social network) as corpora for the AI/bot, it wasn’t quite “training data” yet, it was early still in the game, but most likely it has become such.
So yeah, add that to reasons to hate reddit. I have never understood the appeal of what is essentially a for-profit USENET/BBS system, except that you can decorate yourself with flare or whatever it’s called. Why’d people start using it? Why do we give away our collectively-owned technology to these dipshits?
People don’t know how to use Usenet.
That doesn’t mean the technology didn’t/doesn’t exist. Create a UI for it. Teams is just a copy of Slack, which is just a pretty face slapped onto IRC (not literally, but the point stands).
That’s an odd way of spelling incest. /s
How old is your account? I wonder if this happens for 10+ years redditors too
I’m sorry to say, but as stupid as it is, just blinking and moving away is not gonna stop the proliferation of this everywhere, lemmy included.
They ID at the liquor store too.
Go ahead and give a better solution. I’m up for it.
Except you’re not at the risk of the liquor store owners storing a copy of your ID when they quickly review it
Nor at risk of a server misconfiguration leaking all the copies to random assholes
Wait until the guy at the liquor store has facebook glasses or whatever they’re called
That’s why we need a novel solution.
Don’t be dumb, this isnt even close to the same thing.
The “thing” is how to age gate materials on the internet. I said I’m up for a solution. What’s yours?
A solution presumes there is a problem in the first place.
You don’t say?
Government should provide a way to anonymously verify that you have reached a certain age (not your exact age). If your id is a smart card, the proof could even be generated offline.
Yeah I agree to more anonymous it could be, the better.
Not sure how possible that is though.
Guys hi, just looking for some support share, a Fantasy Adventure Story, for all ages and just some entertain with some storyes: www.youtube.com/watch?v=_mVIvQ1wsgg - maybe you are curious
''i agree with you ‘‘Reddit is bad site’’, should do a new one better, btw Guys hi, just looking for some support share, a Fantasy Adventure Story, for all ages : www.youtube.com/watch?v=_mVIvQ1wsgg - maybe you are curious
yup, this world is full of spermlube farting toddlers, shitlube droolin, shitsteam sneezing total removed saturn cock riding nazis. i have proof. PLS queue this planet and system for total annihilation. it’s worthless, unless of course youre a flying floppy dildo, on a mission to monkey fuck mars
I got perma banned from reddit after pissing off a few of their nazi mods. Pro tip, if you wanna keep your account then don’t call out blatant far left nazis.
I’m as progressive as the next but reddit has a serious issue with "extreme left ideology "
Nsfwbrowser.com
Works for all subreddit with pics, I use it to watch whatcouldgowrong, instant_regret, etc. boobies.
Does old.reddit.com still work? It used to not even require a login for NSFW.
I don’t know about local requirements in the UK but testing now in the US, yes old.reddit.com allows access to NSFW subs without a login
The UK recently passed a law requiring submitting a photo ID to access adult content. It’s also super unclear on very important specifics
I’m scared

I hadn’t heard of this before, so I tried a few public instances listed on their GitHub repo. They’re all throwing a json error. Do you have a link that works for you?

redlib.perennialte.ch this seems to be working.
I’d say reddit changed something and broke it.
