- Twitch now requires facial age verification to watch mature content in some regions using video selfies processed on your device.
- The system uses k-ID technology and targets gambling streams and other 18+ content to comply with new online safety laws.
- Users must scan their face to access restricted streams with many expressing privacy concerns about the new requirement.
Not that I was making or watching those but the requirement itself is definitely something I want nothing to do with. Thanks for reminding me to delete my account, I’ve been meaning to do so for months now but always forgot to. One more thing off the list.
