I say this is worse than the Discord shit bc now all kids gotta scan their faces just to chat… I don’t like it (Roblox) alteady but fuck no am I letting my kids do it!
Edit: what’s to stop a pedo from using any online image, or even their own kid to then chat up other kids once verified?!
Apparently images alone don’t work. It has to be a video following a very specific set of instructions (looking to one side, then to the other, then straight ahead - or something like that).
But your point still stands. Apparently a lot of kids are getting around this by using AI generated videos, or having a parent do it for them, or just drawing giving facial hair onto themselves.
Yes, it’s definitely worse than Discord. Discord without age verification is still mostly usable. Roblox without it isn’t.
The silver lining for me is that my kids have basically abandoned the platform now. I told them I’m not sending their IDs in because there’s such a huge risk of a data breach.
Maybe they shouldn’t be chatting there, and this is a good deterrent. And if we can say parents are the solution, then are they not again the solution here? They should keep their kids away from facial recognition, and away from online spaces that don’t know their customers.
Bothers me because I’m in process of divorcing my wife, and she pretty much does whatever the kids want so she can be the fun parent while I am the one who worries about this kind of stuff and ends up being the boring/antifun parent. So she has probably already done whatever, and if I stop them, I’m the bad guy…

Gmod models can fool it… It’s really dumb lol
They’re using that to make a 3d biometric facial model.
Absolute privacy nightmare.

That sucks. And it’s a great example of how people don’t get how difficult it is to deal with this stuff as a parent. Even when you know better.
