On the behalf of the admin and moderation team:
We will not add age-verification unless we will literally be force-shutdown if we don’t.
If we do, it will be a one-on-one call in which you show one of us – personally, on our actual phone numbers or signal or some shit – your ID and we just put a little mark on your profile saying “yep we verified”
we will not, at any point, ever build age-verification into the software nor rely on AI to do it. We don’t fucking want your data, it’s a massive risk to have around.
If we can get by without it, we will simply not do it, even if we have to block some countries. The UK is not a “target market” for app.wafrn.net as we have no target market.
A receipt from alcohol purchase seems equally as valid as a govt ID. One could falsify either by just stealing someone else’s.
And until these whackadoo politicians decide they’re going to provide the tools or other guidance on exactly how to verify someone’s age, it seems appropriate.
