In a world with a bit more trust, I feel like this is what blockchain/certificates would be for. Basically someone would make a signed statement from a lawyer or witness that “This user with email address xyz is over the age of 18.” Contains no other data, and the notary would be trusted not to collect any more than needed. Then, websites could verify the signature against a public key from the firm.
i’m considering mailing the school about it as well
Never mind this facial age check thing, have you seen the People Make Games exposés into Roblox’s child endangerment/exploitation? Anyone who lets their kids play Roblox should at least be paying close attention to their kids’ use of the game. Even more so than on any game.
Roblox is so fucked up, this would at least be “some” hurdle. It’s the worst way to go about it, but at this point it’s better than nothing. I just hope this will not become standard. You know, for privacy reasons.
No, having children upload facial images to verify there age??? In the age of AI and deep fakes, or I don’t know selling that data to other entries with far more nefarious purposes.
This dude doesn’t care about kids, he sent a cease and desist to someone who actually was doing something and caught six predators on the platform.
He also said Roblox could be a dating platform which is a red flag since they probably know there platform attracts child predators.
If that wasn’t enough of reason he donated $2.5M to the White House Ballroom.
Yeah this is all completely insane, the ‘solution’ here isn’t a solution (its not hard to generate a fake face) and as you say, its actually a problem itself… give up your face, so they can sell it to Grok, so Grok can churn out synthetic CSAM.

Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.
Rules
1. Submissions have to be related to games
Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.
This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.
2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil
No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.
We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.
3. No excessive self-promotion
Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.
This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.
4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts
This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you’re submitting before posting to see if it’s already been posted.
We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.
5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW
Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.
No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.
6. No linking to piracy
Don’t share it here, there are other places to find it. Discussion of piracy is fine.
We don’t want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.

Instead we get this Orwellian mess.
There’s nothing to stop them selling that email address with cert.
ive banned roblox in my home, so my kid wont be playing it.
i’m considering mailing the school about it as well
but i honestly would prefer if there was just no chat available.

This is not how you’re supposed to do this, as this is digital ID. More like facial doxxing, which is what Builderman clearly didn’t call for.
Thankfully, my producer abandoned his account.

This is all fucking nuts.
I fear it’s actually worse than nothing, due to the precedent it’ll set for other platforms.
All these images will get leaked if they haven‘t already. It‘s a nightmare situation.
