YouTube tried to age verify me and couldn’t do it using the card I’ve been paying them with, so I figured I’d let people know you can beat YouTube’s selfie age verification with high resolution videos. I used a 4k video of Evan Edinger and it just accepted that was me, despite being a mediocre phone camera aimed at what should clearly be a screen.

You do realise the consequence of sharing that you can do this? All the new propaganda media gonna have a row of kids with his face AI’d all over. 6 hairstyles but same face…all saying their life has been saved by the social media ban.

The more people that know how to bypass it the better. All it takes, for YouTube at least, is a high quality video of someone speaking to the camera.
Break all the age verification systems, bypass anything, be free.

I immediately went to check that I could still watch porn with a minimum of workarounds. I’m not a big porn guy but when they told me no it gave me something to fight.

Plot twist. They actually want you gambling and addicted to porn. Would not surprise me if there is gov funding for training on how to subvertdly access it

They’ll need that training soon enough anyway.

That’s why the Epstein class bringing identity verification down to the operating system level and most likely down to the hardware level next. The goal is to have any device that you touch instantly know it is you who are using it. Can’t cause any uprisings when they know who you are and where you are.
