Finally it seems the end of Reddit is near.

    They can force you to use your phone’s camera. Due to faceID, modern phones have fairly sophisticated cameras that can tell the difference between a static image and a 3d physical face.

      I don’t use my phone for shit like this. If anything that could be just a website can only be used through an “app”, I just don’t use it.

      Edit, also, what’s stopping me from holding my phone to a computer screen?

        Modern facial recognition cameras project a grid of infrared dots on your face and use the distortion of them to sense the depth and contours of your face. You’d have to 3d print a head to defeat it.

        That said, Reddit is probably doing the bare minimum to comply with the law and will probably just use an uploaded 2d image.
