I feel like we need a less invasive form of age verification or we need actual data privacy laws in the US with some teeth. As it is right now it's basically a guarantee that your ID and facial data will be in a breach eventually. Seems like every site will require this once it starts.
Yep. Probably a billion dollar idea if you can execute it properly. These laws are spurring competition
I think most peoples' facial data is already for sale and breachable/leakable
