On the behalf of the admin and moderation team:
We will not add age-verification unless we will literally be force-shutdown if we don’t.
If we do, it will be a one-on-one call in which you show one of us – personally, on our actual phone numbers or signal or some shit – your ID and we just put a little mark on your profile saying “yep we verified”
we will not, at any point, ever build age-verification into the software nor rely on AI to do it. We don’t fucking want your data, it’s a massive risk to have around.
If we can get by without it, we will simply not do it, even if we have to block some countries. The UK is not a “target market” for app.wafrn.net as we have no target market.
One requires an adult participant, one doesn’t.
Getting a receipt also requires an adult participant. People don’t make a habit of tossing alcohol receipts on the ground.
Much more so than passports or other identity documents. Come on, man, what point are you actually arguing here?
I could ask you the same question.
I thought it was quite clear. Verifying your age with an alcohol purchase receipt is a dumb idea for a large variety of reasons, including ease of acquiring one, ease of copying images, ease of printing one yourself and the cumulative ease of doing all this without an actual adult willingly involved in your scheme. It’s is not nearly as fool proof as verifying government ID.
Of course, I’m against all invasive forms of age verification. Doesn’t mean I’m going to advocate for a rally bad alternative either.
They’re both dumb ideas. That’s the point.
