Age Verification

Due to applicable UK laws, websites must verify the age of visitors using official ID to confirm they are at least 18 years old. We are a small site and unfortunately do not have the resources to implement such a system, so we are unable to serve users in the UK.

We are not required to verify your location, so please confirm below:

      They make you do things like open your mouth and smile

          You’re not thinking big: Rent out other people’s faces!

          Instead of an actual click farm where slave workers click phones all day, you make an app.

          The app works like this: When the users (or let’s call them: “Partners”) get a notification from your app, they just have to smile at the camera, sometimes do other expressions. They are then rewarded with points which they can trade for for actual real life discounts on real online stores. Something like 1 cent per picture.

          You now setup a service for people who want to bypass facial age verification and feed their requests directly to the app for a small fee of 5 cents per verification.

            The video game trick doesn’t work everywhere. I don’t know about deepfakes and such, both how easily available they are and how good they are at tricking the age verification.

            Even if 3D images are required, surely there are 3D deepfake faces people can wear. But anyway, we’re being distracted by the part of this law that stops kids going online. The quiet part is the part that gets every adult to show their real face to some website. Those adults need deepfake faces just as much if not more so.
