Brits can get around Discord's age verification thanks to Death Stranding's photo mode, bypassing the measure introduced with the UK's Online Safety Act. We tried it and it works—thanks, Kojima (www.pcgamer.com)

The UK's new act blocks access to adult content without identification. Turns out, you only need a copy of Death Stranding and a phone to get around it.

I think one of the age ID things needs to detect movement. I tried it with a still photo of Kier Starmer and it wouldn't have it. I'll have to experiment.

    according to the article it wants you to open and close your mouth, which the death stranding photo mode is easily capable of. you might also be able to do it with other games, or AI photo->video of your favorite politicians, preprogrammed to move around a bit and then open and close its mouth a few seconds later.
