Shouldn’t their machine learning models be able to detect who looks like a kid and provide age appropriate content on Insta? If they are not doing that already, Insta is basically recommending adult content to kids.
Young children, sure. But teenagers? I had a full beard by 16. The only reliable way we've ensured not to sell alcohol to kids is to verify ID. (And it's not terribly reliable anyway.)
its not very accurate, easy to fool and requires facebook to build an archive of pictures of children to build models against....
If my account got locked because Instagram thought I was a child (and I wasn't) I think I'd be pretty upset.
I'd take it as a complement, but I think that's a thing that comes with age.
As someone who has a genetic condition where I look younger than I am I've come to believe they if someone has to explain that it's a compliment they should really do more second guessing
They do claim to know your age to target ads, so what gives? Either it doesnt work or they don't care
Oh some people would have problems with that, not every adult looks like one and stuff.
As I get closer to thirty years old, the idea of a person or machine asking for a grown-up to verify my identity gives me feelings that are more mixed than I expected.
