alt Hacker NewsCan't we just do this age verification locally on-device? Just some WASM to run a small AI model, which scans face+ID.
I know it'll be easier to bypass, but that does not matter. We're trying to stop children, not adults with technical skill.

It's not about age verification but control and digital id.

Is a face scan accurate enough to do that with 100% accuracy?

The browser could also emit the age, which sites could check to block, and parents could manage via parental controls.
But that's no fun: can't assure control of the children (bad), monetization (even worse) not share with government (the worst, given the current administration).
