Reddit Could Be The Next Platform To Force Face ID

It's not the only platform that has required some sort of verification in recent months.

In speaking to the Technology Business Programming Network (TPBN) podcast, CEO Steve Huffman affirmed that things like Face or Touch ID have been considered.

"The most lightweight way is with something like Face ID or Touch ID," Huffman said (Thanks Engadget for the spot). "They actually require a human presence, like a human has to touch, or do or look at something, so that actually just proves there's a person there or gets you pretty far."

If those don't come to the platform, then other options, like third-party services that are decentralized or don't require ID, could be instituted. Similarly, there could be a lane where ID-checking programs are used.

For his part, Alexis Ohanian, the co-founder of Reddit, admitted that Face ID wasn't something he had thought of, but it might be something that needs to be done.

Internet is no longer anonymous. Gotta start saying racist shit in real life instead.

You know what platform needs face or id verification? Fucking Snapchat

I opened Snapchat for 5 minutes or maybe even less and I found lots of pedophiles.

I hate id verification but Holy shit, Snapchat needs to implement it ASAP

Then send that database to Chris Hansen.

and the pedophiles

 

[Draugoth]

They are already asking for an ID in Brazil and UK

You can just send them a facescan of some random on Youtuber and they will accept it. Security is not a priority.

Internet is no longer anonymous. Gotta start saying racist shit in real life instead.

People will start finding ways to bypass verification with fake IDs, people will find ways to stay anonymous

 

[LordCBH]

You fellow perverts will put a FACE to your porn subreddits. Why? Because the new world order COMMANDS it.

Reject this, I say. Let these platforms BURN to the ground.

 

[Fake]

Yes please. Let that place burn.

Looking forward to the leaks:
