I say this is worse than the Discord shit bc now all kids gotta scan their faces just to chat… I don’t like it (Roblox) alteady but fuck no am I letting my kids do it!
Edit: what’s to stop a pedo from using any online image, or even their own kid to then chat up other kids once verified?!
Maybe they shouldn’t be chatting there, and this is a good deterrent. And if we can say parents are the solution, then are they not again the solution here? They should keep their kids away from facial recognition, and away from online spaces that don’t know their customers.
Apparently images alone don’t work. It has to be a video following a very specific set of instructions (looking to one side, then to the other, then straight ahead - or something like that).
But your point still stands. Apparently a lot of kids are getting around this by using AI generated videos, or having a parent do it for them, or just drawing giving facial hair onto themselves.
Yes, it’s definitely worse than Discord. Discord without age verification is still mostly usable. Roblox without it isn’t.
The silver lining for me is that my kids have basically abandoned the platform now. I told them I’m not sending their IDs in because there’s such a huge risk of a data breach.
