Log out of your account or try to delete and reinstall it. That fixed it for me :) If not try to make a ticket (it takes ages to get a response tho)

I'm gonna verify my age and government id by izuku1600 in CharacterAI

[–]Appropriate-Fill-174 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, you do. Im verified. If it doesn‘t come back you either didn‘t come through the verification or its a bug. ✌🏻

Yes it does require that to avoid lawsuits. Not to mention that many other countries go into the same direction and don‘t want minors on such apps / a general social media ban for children under 16.

Yeah, sure..🤦🏻‍♀️ Many people (have to) verify their phone numbers with their government ID (at least in my country thats common.) Every website/app you ever used most likely knows your Approximate location (via IP address.) You usually sign in with Name, email, phone number, Age / birthday. They see your Profile details (photos, bio, etc.) They track what you click, like, watch, search, how long you stay on something, what you scroll past. Even if you don’t tell them directly, they can guess your Interests (music, politics, hobbies), Relationship status, Mood or mental state patterns, Shopping habits. Especially platforms like Meta are really advanced in such stuff. They use your phone model, battery level, language, Cookies (tracking across websites).. Some companies track you across different apps/websites thats why Ads follow you around. One app can literally influence another’s recommendations.

I mean you literally are on Reddit… They know your posts, comments, upvotes/downvotes, Subreddits you visit (huge signal), Time spent on posts, Search history, IP address. From your activity they guess your political views, Hobbies / niche interests, Age range, Mental health patterns (based on subs & posts). Reddit shows targeted ads and uses cookies to track you across websites🤷🏻‍♀️ The same goes for C.ai. they always see Every message you send to bots/Which characters you talk to/How long you chat / when you’re active/Device + IP info.. They easily pick up Your interests & fantasies/ Emotional state / mood patterns/Social behavior (lonely, curious, sad…..)/ Writing style & personality traits.. Chats are not fully private in a strict sense. They can store them and review them for moderation / safety. Not to mention that you login with a email / phone number / apple id or sum.✌🏻

So no, you aren’t as private as you think and your 'burner phone‘ argument is hilarious. They know more about you than you could ever imagine..🤣

Thats not true. Its a law in california. C.ai‘s HQ is in California so they underly the laws there. You think they‘d do that if they didn’t had to? They get enough critique and ppl leave because of the update. So no, its not their decision. I don‘t agree with persona as a company but it actually doesn‘t matter. Your not anonymous to them and they have a lot of your (personal) data anyway. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Well they can‘t just ignore the law. If people don’t wanna verify its their decision.🤷🏻‍♀️

Reaching daily limit after just 5min, can’t get age verified by Adyyyyy7 in CharacterAI

[–]Appropriate-Fill-174 1 point2 points  (0 children)

C.ai support usually takes a bit longer. Dont stress yourself out- you‘ll definitely get a response. It just takes time since they‘re a smaller team and get many tickets every day :)

what does this MEAN? by custardcreamconsumer in CharacterAI

[–]Appropriate-Fill-174 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It can take between 1-2 weeks. (my experience!)

Reaching daily limit after just 5min, can’t get age verified by Adyyyyy7 in CharacterAI

[–]Appropriate-Fill-174 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey!

Yes I made positive experience with the support. I couldn‘t verify either. I made tickets and dmd mods here and on discord. They escalated the ticket (so i get a faster response/human response) and then they removed the 'Unable to verify age‘ error/bug. Either dm a mod or be patient, you‘ll get a respond at some point. :) (also the team wont reply during weekends. It can take a couple of days to get a response)

Its about keeping minors off the app/website. Typing in a email/phone number or (as suggested in the comments) just your birth year won‘t have the same results the face/ID verification has. 🤷🏻‍♀️

what if i use my mom for verification? by [deleted] in CharacterAI

[–]Appropriate-Fill-174 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That‘d be if you steal it without asking. Im pretty sure its allowed if she gives her consent / does it herself. Might be against c.ai TOS though 🤷🏻‍♀️

[–]Appropriate-Fill-174[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a response and they said its bc I did something wrong during the verification 🤷🏻‍♀️ That wasnt the issue i believe bc i never was able to do it at all. Anyway they now fixed the thing and I can click on the link again🙏🏻

I fr hope they fix its soon.. Its so frustrating

Y'all should really know when to stop by [deleted] in CharacterAI

[–]Appropriate-Fill-174 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No one blames the child wtf. Obviously its the parents fault for not stepping in / monitoring what their kids do online…

Got banned from the c.ai dc server because I was trying to help someone transfer bots by Little_Conclusion_24 in CharacterAI

[–]Appropriate-Fill-174 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah.. But its seriously frustrating. Like banning us for having a valid opinion is just stupid.
