I wondered how they would do this. Now I wonder how the government can verify that is was done.
Reddit’s UK users must now prove they’re 18 to view adult content
Reddit announced today that it has started verifying UK users' ages before letting them "view certain mature content" in order to comply with the country's Online Safety Act.
Reddit said that users "shouldn't need to share personal information to participate in meaningful discussions," but that it will comply with the law by verifying age in a way that protects users' privacy. "Using Reddit has never required disclosing your real world identity, and these updates don't change that," Reddit said.
Reddit said it contracted with the company Persona, which "performs the verification on either an uploaded selfie or a photo of your government ID. Reddit will not have access to the uploaded photo, and Reddit will only store your verification status along with the birthdate you provided so you won't have to re-enter it each time you try to access restricted content."
Reddit said that Persona made promises about protecting the privacy of data. "Persona promises not to retain the photo for longer than 7 days and will not have access to your Reddit data such as the subreddits you visit," the Reddit announcement said.
… Reddit provided more detail on how the age verification works here, and a list of what content is restricted here.
The truth is not supposed to be a matter of opinion.
Missouri Harasses AI Companies Over Chatbots Dissing Glorious Leader Trump
Missourians deserve the truth, not AI-generated propaganda masquerading as fact," said Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey. That's why he's investigating prominent artificial intelligence companies for…failing to spread pro-Trump propaganda?
Under the guise of fighting "big tech censorship" and "fake news," Bailey is harassing Google, Meta, Microsoft, and OpenAI. Last week, Bailey's office sent each company a formal demand letter seeking "information on whether these AI chatbots were trained to distort historical facts and produce biased results while advertising themselves to be neutral."
And what, you might wonder, led Bailey to suspect such shenanigans?
Chatbots don't rank President Donald Trump on top.
