Okay so couldn't I just upload any old picture of an adult? How do they verify that the picture I've sent them is actually one of me?

Or is it that they just don't care because this is a stupid law?

This would usually be more of a 3D thing. Think of setting up Face ID on an iPhone. Look straight ahead, look left, look right. A flat photo wouldn’t likely work.
