On Discord, I got the captcha, but then after it redirected, I got a page saying: {"error":"failed to execute k-id privately action (status=404)"} I'm very much an adult, this whole thing is ridiculous. Ban me, I don't care.
The real and robust method will be generating artificial video input instead of the real webcam. I really don’t think any platform will be able to counter this. If they start requiring to use a phone with harder to spoof camera input, you will simply be able to put the camera in front of a high resolution screen. The cat and mouse game will not last long.
They already support ID checks as an alternative to face scanning, if the latter proves to be untenable then it's literally a case of flipping a switch to mandate ID instead.

Yes but for completely different reasons: I will not bother to play the game and stop using the platform.
I don't understand why (mostly) young people put so much effort into remaining customers of a service that is actively hostile against them and that they do not like. Does the convenience of remaining on a service you don't like the management of outweigh the mild effort to find an alternative solution?

There is an easy solution to this - require a government ID, and only permit government IDs that can be verified with the state's government. There are a lot of countries and US states where such validation is possible. Given the state is mandating these checks, it only makes sense that the state should be responsible for making it possible to perform these checks.

The long term solution would have to be some kind of integration with a government platform where the platform doesn’t see your ID and the government doesn’t see what you are signing up for. I don’t this will happen in the US but I can see it in more privacy responding countries. Apple and Google may also add some kind of “child flag” parents can enable which tells websites and apps this user is a child and all age c…
> where the platform doesn’t see your ID ID checks aren't very worthwhile if anyone can use any ID with no consequences. How long would it take for someone's 18 year old brother to realize they can charge everyone $10 to "verify" everyone's accounts with their ID, because it doesn't matter whose ID is used?
The older brother could also rent an R (or x) rated movie, buy cigarettes, lighters, dry ice, and give them to the kids. The point of the age check is to prevent kids from getting access without an adult in the loop, not to prevent an adult from providing kids access

I am sure that is part of the appeal to the developing mind, the adversarial nature.
Nothing more "adversarial" than continuing to allow a service to leach on whatever information you're giving to it despite it kicking you in the face at every opportunity.

ID is much easier to forge, it's just a flat 2-d shape. None of the physical security features come through in images.
In Japan, there are already multiple apps which use something like this to verify user's age via the "my number card" + the smartphone's NFC reader.
It's more or less impossible to forge without stealing the government's private keys, or infiltrating the government and issuing a fraudulent card.
Of course, the US isn't a functioning state, the people don't trust it with their identity and security and would rather simply give all their information to private companies instead.
