I'll be honest: I don't have experience with audio stuff/age verification, but wouldn't it be far easier to bypass this than even face (live video) verification, let alone full KYC with ID? At that point it's not that much better than a "I'm over 18" button, or am I missing something?

EDIT: The website itself partially answers my question:

> Self-declaration, the "I am over 18" checkbox, is explicitly prohibited by every major regulator in the UK, EU, and Australia.

But then:

> Facial scanning works, but it builds infrastructure that outlasts the check. A system that estimates your age today can identify you tomorrow. Platforms that rolled it out met immediate backlash and reversals. Users do not trust platforms with their face.

How would we trust your platform to not store voice fingerprints, then?

(On a side note, all descriptions all LLM-written, but that's expected in 2026)

Thanks for the comment/question:

Missing the experience of learning just how much information is in a clip of audio; replay/synthetic attack mitigation is baked in, and more cost-effective to run vs. video, and less creepy.

The mission: make the process easy (and inexpensive) as possible so that people can be verified at scale, without giving away their personal data and being the product.

Post edit/updated, let me track:

This is a good question. Other than having it be more expensive to keep this data, and if it were true, destroy the company whose core tenant is literally that... you can't.

If you have suggestions for an independent audit, more than happy to add that to our stack where applicable.

When I say it's hard to not collect data, woof. Any fresh AWS account just LOVES to slurp it up by default.
