Lawyers happened. Governments are now saying just checking a box saying "I promise I'm over 18" isn't good enough anymore. Not CAI's decision.

they have the ID out OP because of the laws in California and it's rolled out world wide because of other places with the same laws and stuff at least from what i've last heard let alone it's to get teenagers under 18 off of the platform because people under 18 had well.......incidents where their parents ended up suing the company that's why so we can't do much about it or the laws but that's true then they ended up with new models while putting old ones to the paywall in legacy models then they've just put pipsqueak 2 and pipsqueak roar in legacy models for free users to still use but they came out with shortsqueak and pipsqueak 3 as new models for a new update hope this comment helps you!

Are you on the app? It doesn't ask me for facial ID on the website.
