    My google account is old enough to drink in the United States. It’ll be a cold day in hell that I give them my government issued ID or let them do a face scan.

      This is a good point. "Hey Google, my account was created back when your service was invite only" should be enough.

        ...thus creating a thriving black market for old accounts.

      They are welcome to scan the output of Wan 2.2 all day, if they like.

    This happened to me a long time ago... well not me but my kid. She made a youtube video and got flagged for not being old enough.

    At first glance, the title reads like they are doing camera/visual age verification. The missing t is fairly significant in this case.

    Isnt it mandated by law?

      In some jurisdictions for some functions, yes. There is no information here on context that would let us evaluate how this might or might not relate to that, making it pretty useless.
