Technically they now have a photo of my face (Which they say will be deleted) but really, what's all the fuss about? Simple and painless...
No Government ID needed to be uploaded - No one asked me to give them my credit card or debit card - Nothing... ??? Like I say, Simple and painless...
Now I know that conversation on GFY is very much from the site operators standpoint, how to implement this, what it will cost the operator etc and I get that - But if it can be done as easily as I just did it, is it really going to stop people from doing what I just did? In huge numbers?
So again, what is all the fuss about?

I just visited Reddit this morning (NSFW sub) and I had to put my date of birth in before I could go any further. I thought that would be it but I immediately got asked to age verify using a phone/face scan.
It was quick and easy and having sites like Reddit do this, prob helps as surfers may find it the norm as time goes on.
Privacy will always be an issue but everyone has phone which is the ultimate tracking device ;)
