The Internet was like: "kids gonna find a way, VPN, another account, blablabla".
Wise kids be like: " lol mate, watch this shit".
What about girls? If you show an AI a little boy with a fake mustache, I get how that might trip up an AI age check. But what about a girl? Maybe if she ties her hair back or something (assuming she has a girlish hairstyle). But you'd have to have a pretty stupid AI to not see that's a girl's face. And we're not getting into transgender issues, I just mean like in general. And kids.
What if a girl pads her chest? Preteen girls have been putting folded socks (maybe panties? I dunno, I didn't have sisters growing up) in their training bra to look older since I was a kid and probably long before, so it might fool some AI, but I'm not sure. Breasts doesn't mean adult. I'm just spitballing ideas a girl could try to achieve the same result.
I wouldn't be surprised if a mustache worked regardless.
99% sure it would just work, the same way as with boys.
Perhaps some lipstick and face powder
if these age checks ask female users to pan the camera down towards their chests, that's gonna be a problem. a big giant huge problem.
hair on the vag?
I am 61, when i was 16 "kids" were skirting age verification shit all the time.
As healthy kids should do at least one time in their lives.
