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)

This is a clever way to bypass. If they get wise and somehow filter out Sam Porter Bridges' face, you could always fire up any of the games of comparable visual realism which let you design your own character's appearance.

    Just get an AI to generate a face. If it's prepared to accept photos from video games and it'll probably accept AI generated images.

    Not really that I expected competence.

    From what the article says the app watches you while you change expressions as prompted, so you can't use AI-generated still images. That's why using a game's photo mode, where you can toggle the CG facial expression around in real time while pointing your camera at it, is such a clever solution.
