My understanding is that if you are under 18, you can get away with uploading a selfie.
I think your are correct, I don't believe such a requirement exists in the bill itself and that's a big part of the article. Because the law doesn't require this, there's a very real risk that people won't realize that, if you are an adult, you will be required to upload a photo of your state ID. Prople might support the bill and only realize what it means in practical terms once it is too late and it has become law.
It isn't clear to me if requiring photo ID is a practical requirement or a decision the two incumbent vendors have made for their own reasons. My guess is that it is the cheapest and easiest solution.
You can talk about birthday hash or whatever, I don’t see it happening
Apple, Google and such will contract out this age verification to a third-party which will ask you to upload your ID and a 3D face captcha, which the third party will delete within 15 days, but somehow magically still make it into an unfortunate, unavoidable data leak a couple of years later.
Do you have a source for this claim?
...in a world where any legislator ever consulted with cryptography and security engineers on this sort of thing.
What we are going to get is people printing fake IDs on paper and holding them up to a camera.
