@vowe With fake big nose and glasses?

[m@martinh.net]

@vowe I am ready for my Highly Effective #AgeVerification selfie...

[arakin@meow.social]

@vowe good to see kids taking a lesson from Alasdair Beckett King's "Montgomerey BonBon" series where the kid hero fools the adults into thinking she is an internationally renowned detective thanks to a beret and a fake moustache

@vowe dirty sanchez ftw

[ruari@velocipederider.com]

@vowe Holy shit I thought you must be joking but news sites are reporting this.

WTF, does this work???

Some children are drawing on fake moustaches to bypass online age checks, report says

A third of children in the UK have bypassed age verification gates, research from Internet Matters suggests

The Independent (www.independent.co.uk)

@lankohr @vowe

Like these?

[coldclimate@hachyderm.io]

@vowe the kids are alright

[dany@hsnl.social]

@vowe Haha, drawing on mustaches, inventive but that will surely never work!

"One mother said: “I did catch my son using an eyebrow pencil to draw a moustache on his face, and it verified him as 15 years old.""

Oh.... Nevermind.

@vowe this timeline is so unserious

[dckim@mastodon.social]

@vowe just hopefully the children don't use permanent markers.

[bewitchedmind@mastodon.social]

@vowe So that's why Ben G. Thomas grew a moustache.

@vowe

These young people give me hope for the future.

[glowl@chaos.social]

@Dany @vowe i wonder if they imply the kid is actually younger than 13 by talking about "children" and not "teens"?

[d1@autistics.life]

@vowe it's an idea so crazy it night just work

[mediocreman@mastodon.social]

@vowe
If that is all it takes to get passed this system, it is a bit useless.

[frutigeraero00@mastodon.social]

@vowe This is hilarous but, age verificiation just verifies face, not age birth? Or it doesnt connect to an actual gov database?

So, can you just make a fake id and it would work?

[pedro_mateus@mas.to]

@vowe

Time to add age verification to the sale of sharpies!

[gimulnautti@mastodon.green]

@vowe It was never about #ageverification!

It was about government having become impotent to regulate big tech. It was about the #neoliberal #ideology having invaded every nook & cranny of our lives. Even children have to serve the interests of shareholders in #BigTech companies, who won’t be held accountable for making their products safe for children.

Instead we hand over what remains of our #privacy to generate even more money & power for shareholders, disguised as care.. 🤮

@vowe Just a third? Those are rookie numbers.
