a few months ago, youtube implemented AI-based age assurance where to prove you’re an adult if the AI thought you were underage, you could either
dox yourself by uploading an ID that they absolutely WILL keep on file forever and will inevitably leak when they get hacked in the future
add a credit card to your account so they can trick you into paying for youtube premium when you accidentally click on something in the future
or 3. if your account is old enough and has gotten continuous consistent use then they’ll just go with that
The media is evil and didn’t give the story any attention
What the fuck, how is this the first time I’m hearing about this… I was thinking of deleting my account (with no phone or ID tied to it), I guess I’m keeping it for now.

Because the media is evil and none of that bullshit is about protecting kids, they just want us to dox ourselves so we’re afraid to criticize anything
