Y'all just laughing at Twitter when this isn't just a Twitter thing.
Is there other platforms that are out there estimating our ages?
I know the whole age gate thing - being in the UK, believe me, I know. I've just never had a service go "we can't show you content. No, don't tell us your age, we'll work it out from the data we've collected from you".
That's a whole new one for me, I must admit.
I've got no idea, but it's not the estimation of age it's that the EU now requires all sites offering adult content to confirm age. the idea of an AI estimating age over having to provide physical ID seems safer than the way most are doing it or going to do it.
It's ok when it happens to them! /s
