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.

Modern facial recognition cameras project a grid of infrared dots on your face and use the distortion of them to sense the depth and contours of your face. You’d have to 3d print a head to defeat it.
That said, Reddit is probably doing the bare minimum to comply with the law and will probably just use an uploaded 2d image.
