      I don’t use my phone for shit like this. If anything that could be just a website can only be used through an “app”, I just don’t use it.

    I’m not the person you were replying to but maybe the limit of using the websites like the ones I posted is you can’t reuse the same face (at least not than I’m aware of).

    So if you are in the UK and you upload 2 selfies from the site and the facial recognition pattern is different from each other, then the system which Reddit is using might reject it.

    This is only a guess though.

      It should be trivial to generate a stack of similar enough selfies to fool these systems. Still, any site that starts requiring this shit isn’t worth going on.

        Agreed. I hope more people leave that dumpster fire.
