I’m curious if anyone has found a story indicating that they actually want a photo of your face? The original Engadget article seems to indicate that they’re talking about Apple FaceID/TouchID, not an actual image upload.

Apple stores all biometrics data locally on the device. Reddit wouldn’t ever see your face if this is the case; they would just get the passkey token generated by the secure enclave. Am I misunderstanding why this is causing outrage?

Ahahahahahahahahah funny, proooove you are not a bot ! 0.1 + 0.2 == 0.3 🤣🤣🤣🤣 mehhhh, upload an ID ✔️✔️✔️✔️

They must mean automatic scripts and bots that didn’t pay for acces.

This data surely goes straight to Palentir

Watch /r/politics posts go from 22k upvotes to 3k upvotes overnight.

BREAKING NEWS! Reddit figured out how to make their platform even shittier

never been happier to have been banned for no reason at all

I made the switch to Lemmy today, feels old school kind of good.

Reddit is not only allowing for bots to run rampant, but also it’s managed by the Epstein class and their supporters.

I used to assume most of the bots belonged to Reddit. I still do, too.

I want most people to switch to lemmy.

On the one hand, this is awful and will be a complete clusterfuck

On the other hand, it would be acceptable if the mods have to use a recent photo as an avatar.

Oh sure, that’s why.

I’m a new lemmy user because of this

They made it easier for bots to thrive by allowing hidden post histories, limiting the API, and punishing users for “bad” reports, but claim they need face ID to filter out bots?

So glad I ditched reddit.
