The #AgeVerification future: Meta's AI says you are below 13, and there is nothing you can do..
'On Tuesday, I loaded Instagram and learned Meta had disabled my account. The alleged reason was that I was under 13, the minimum age for joining the site. It gave me 30 days to appeal [..] asking me to upload a copy of my state ID. I decided to trust Meta’s promise it would be “stored securely and deleted within 30 days.” But after review, Meta insisted I was still underage.' https://www.theverge.com/2024/10/9/24266096/instagram-threads-moderation-account-post-deleted-limited
@je5perl oh yes there is absolutely something you can do, and a very easy one:
Dont use meta products.
@je5perl if you live within EU, send them a GDPR Article 16 data rectification request to their gdpr contact mail address and demand it to be done without undue delay. If a few weeks later you still have that problem, send a formal complaint to your countries data protection commissioner
@je5perl yeah, another great reason for not using meta services.
I tried something funny with Instagram, they locked my account, and the only way I could unlock it was by giving my phone number.
@je5perl you do loook and act quite under age :-D
