I actually like their implementation. I'm curious if it will be enough for governments, but it is nice that they are trying to persue a path without id checks

They should not be trying to implement it globally. That is unacceptable.

Still required to use a video or ID card in the UK.

I like that the dialog indicates the service provider. Thumbs up for transparency.

There was a brief window where you could submit fake biometrics through a third-party site to verify age on Discord, pretty sure I got the link for hackernews.

That made me feel better that Discord didn't need to store my ID or video of my face, and was only storing the results of some analysis and not the inputs.
