    getting a bunch of minors to take selfies of themselves to upload to a server somewhere while training an ai model will definitely have no problems…

      Thing is Discord will have no problems getting them to do it. By the time any legal proceedings against it work their way through the legal system, the damage will long since have been done. Discord will have made the money from the data they collected, the AI models will be done, and the need for more pictures will be non-existent.

      NTTS is someone I’ve watched for a while who spends lots of time looking at and reporting on upcoming discord features, as well as scams and CSAM material on the platform. He’s very clear in the videos when something is rumored, added to the client as a beta feature, etc.

      The curse of Lemmy - YouTubers desperate for clicks posting shitty vids that contain enough information for a 1 paragraph article

        Articles are so much better than videos a lot of the time. I’ll watch a video for kinetic things, like how to flush my radiator etc.

        Its annoying when information is in a video that could easily be written out and skimmed.

    I mean I’m usually not the skeptic when it comes to privacy rights, but it’s hard for me to defend against an action like this. Because I don’t see a purpose of needing that information outside of the intent to sell to third party

      Social media are more and more required by law to prevent kids from using their service. I don’t see a way to achieve that with no risks to privacy.

        I couldn’t imagine an AI model will be very accurate of being able to identify a 11 year old vs a 13 year old. I assume this is more to try and vett whether they can access NSFW channels or not, but honestly since humans can’t properly vett that, I don’t know how an AI is supposed to reliably do that.

    Yikes, we gotta get on improving Element and Matrix as a replacer ASAP. My apologies for shillery, I don’t normally hock FOSS alternatives in the comments but I view this sort of offense by Discord as a militant action level of threat.

    Matrix takes Donations LINK

    Element offers product packages for developers/hosts LINK

    There are also other services aside from Element with similar functionality so check those out too.

    EDIT: Also Matrix is on Github LINK

        The feature none of them seem to have is creating a set of rules that users have to read and agree to before seeing the rest of the space, such is the case with Discord Community Channels.

      I assume having your own chat room with your friends would mean self hosting?

        Think of it more like Lemmy, do you need to self-host a Lemmy instance to create a post? A community? No, and the same goes for Matrix.

        The only reason to self-host Matrix is if you want to. You can create chat rooms on pretty much any server you like.

        I personally use Matrix.org so I can just set up a chat room and itll be hosted there. Of course if you want to self host a matrix instance for you and your friends thats an option, or some of your friends can use the self hosted instance and some other instances (Matrix is a federated protocol).

        Why would you assume this? There’s plenty of servers available and conversations can still be encrypted.

        Voice chat is extremely lacking, though.

      Maybe it’s the interests I have, but those chat rooms may have people but not a lot of activity. Also, the specific people I want to chat with don’t use Matrix.

        The big issue they’ve had, imo, is that there’s too many bots and too many IRC bridges from stubborn oldies who refused to migrate away from IRC.

        There was a time when freenode went down that many channels were experiencing an exodus, which would have been the perfect time for Matrix adoption, but people were far too stubborn with IRC despite its many flaws (privacy, lack of history, poor feature set, etc.)

        I’m still incredibly frustrated they did that. I often heard “I’ll just text you” in reply to “I’m leaving snap”. Having an all-in-one app would’ve made that so much easier.

    The error rate is probably pretty high. There are people with a “baby face” as well as people who look older than they are. Even the best AI can’t predict something that isn’t predictable, like the age by looking at a photo. You can get rough estimates, but no AI can discern between a 17,9 year old and a 18 year old.

    Do we have concrete proof of this happening now or in the near future? Does the video provide any? I need to know whether to sound the alarm now, or wait till there’s something concrete to show people. (You can probably understand my hesitation to share a scarily titled YT video as my only proof)
