Any chance this can be used to token-log people's accounts?
You can also self-host the backend from https://github.com/xyzeva/k-id-age-verifier.

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.
Remind me again, why do people need government approved ids to access discord in the first place? Everyone in this thread is solutioning how we could make government ids work, but no one seems to be asking if that’s a good idea.

I don't think it's beyond their comprehension to ask: "how can I have a chat system that I personally control?" The rest will be taken care of. Look at the Amnezia VPN. It's an app that helps you buy a VPS from a range of cloud provides, then sets it up, completely from the phone, as an exit node under user control. I don't see why a chat server cannot be set up and managed this way. It only takes one dedicated devel…
>The rest will be taken care of. by a system with a incentive to keep them in centralized black boxes, yes. >The rest will be taken care of. It's never the tech hat's hard, but the networks. If people were able to just jump on a whim a lot of dynamics of modern corruption would fall apart.

> the mild effort to find an alternative solution? Calling it a "mild effort" assumes skills that older generations took for granted but many young people seem to have been actively trained out of. We're past the era where I take for granted that aspiring programmers need to have the basics of a terminal or shell explained to them, into one where they might need an explanation for the basics of a file system and path…

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?

Why do middle aged people still use Facebook marketplace rather than another platform? Because even if you put in the effort to use something different, you’ll be the only one there. The effort to coordinate everyone to move at the same time is bordering on impossible.
> Facebook marketplace rather than another platform which? I'd love to, but FB marketplace is the platform.
Hm, when attempting it I get redirected to https://age-verifier.kibty.town/webview?url=null , which says: {"error":"error parsing webview url"} Edit: Apparently my discord account is in some kind of A/B feature test that uses a different verification provider, Persona
Apparently Twitch doesn't like Mozilla Firefox...

Gross.
(I'm not verifying anywhere unless required for official business. Still have my non-KYC sim for people)
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 text with the code shows another step.
