    I mean I’m usually not the skeptic when it comes to privacy rights, but it’s hard for me to defend against an action like this. Because I don’t see a purpose of needing that information outside of the intent to sell to third party

      Social media are more and more required by law to prevent kids from using their service. I don’t see a way to achieve that with no risks to privacy.

    How would an AI ever know the difference between a 17.5 year old and an 18 year old anyways?

        I personally use Matrix.org so I can just set up a chat room and itll be hosted there. Of course if you want to self host a matrix instance for you and your friends thats an option, or some of your friends can use the self hosted instance and some other instances (Matrix is a federated protocol).

      Maybe it’s the interests I have, but those chat rooms may have people but not a lot of activity. Also, the specific people I want to chat with don’t use Matrix.

    getting a bunch of minors to take selfies of themselves to upload to a server somewhere while training an ai model will definitely have no problems…

      Thing is Discord will have no problems getting them to do it. By the time any legal proceedings against it work their way through the legal system, the damage will long since have been done. Discord will have made the money from the data they collected, the AI models will be done, and the need for more pictures will be non-existent.

    Hmmm. So how long before another AI is able to generate a good enough face to fool the age verification AI (or can it already)? Interesting three-legged race there.

    I would recommend Signal and maybe Tox (protocol, has several clients).

    Signal is a nonprofit. They make it a point not to collect your data. Just the phone number. Military folks seem to like them.

    Tox is not a centralized entity at all, anarchists seem to like it. Multiple Tox clients exist and use a common protocol and network. Messaging happens via peer-to-peer, lookups make use of servers. For messaging to occur, both communicating parties have to be online, so don’t expect much convenience.

      Oh my God it’s been so many years since I’ve heard of tox I set up a q-tox account years ago, then no one used the platform so I just let it rest. I think I have my identity key is still stored on my developer sync, I forgot that platform existed

      I use signal with my wife and daughter for texting, does it also offer group servers? I keep in touch with most of my business customers through my shop’s discord server.

        Yes, you can also share a server link and use a username therefore not needing to share your phone number, for bigger group chats

        It does group messaging, it’s not the same as discord, but I’m not sure what all features you need in a group chat room.

    Guys, calm down, it doesn’t use YOUR face at all. Just a photo. Easy to bypass, and think of the fun we can have.

      If that’s the computing you want to do then power to ya. I’d rather the software running on my machine do what I want, rather than work around it doing what someone else wants.
