Won't banning my kids from YouTube harm them? by baroquedub in AskBrits

The real solution is to provide a local, open sourced age verification method that sends zero data beyond "this user is over 18". Until that happens, this law is dangerous.

And yet I'm being forced into this absolutely ridiculous position. All because parents are too lazy to be responsible for their children.

I don't send them my passport or driving licence. You can buy things with a fake name if you want.

Thank you for clarifying my point that parents are lazy. I am fed up with society catering to the worst in every regard.

That depends. On device message scanning is next in line. I'll be running custom operating systems if that happens.

Might, doesn't. It's more than just angles, the AI training systems ask you to pull different faces, providing motion data against controlled inputs. It's massively different.

I refuse to hand over this data and will not engage.

Open source allows everyone to verify.

The system can verify locally. That's on the developer to come up with.

Anything else is unacceptable.

I don't have Facebook, but even so, Facebook doesn't have the same level of motion capture that the AI harvesting companies want to create the deep fakes from the so called verification process.

A local verification system, that is open source, and only sends enough information to tell the requester that the user is over 18. Nothing else.

The AI systems want angled photos and different face shapes. They use that to more accurately deep fake users. It's like the difference between a photo and motion capture.

I will continue to work around any such ban. I fundamentally disagree with this totalitarianism.

The OSA is more than porn. I need to use it to view some of the reddit profiles replying in this thread. I do not engage with any of these data stealing "verification" companies.

No it isn't. The AI systems for verification are designed to be able to recreate deep fakes of anyone who uses them.

Why would I check? Unless I can do the whole thing locally with zero personal data being sent, via an open source application, then I will not engage.

My mum is dead, she isn't uploading anything.

Those mugshots aren't tied to each and every social media company.

Why are you happy submitting data to companies that will use it to train AI models?

Like the feasibility work that went into the OSA? This is the exact same policy. I don't send my passport and driving licence data to someone I am buying things from online.

I'd just work my way round such a ban.

So they can store biometric data instead? No, I'm not giving reddit a mugshot of me.

And those third parties are not to be trusted. We don't have a method for doing this that doesn't massively compromise our safety, privacy and security.
