Aren't AI tools supposed to be bad with adversarial examples? Someone could make an app that generates an image which (independently) appears to be you and also appears to be old enough.

I'm glad they at least tried to make an alternative to the stupid AI estimation. Even if this is hardly any better. I wonder if a VISA Debit card would pass muster, or do they have those in the UK.

Of course, the primary harm of kids not being able to use social media is also pretty significant—but there's only so much you can do when you're actually breaking the law. Except switch to dread, I guess.
