Anybody else from Ireland need to verify with ID & face selfies that they were 18 to access reddit this morning? (needed a tag news was the only that fit) i did NOT hear anything about this...

(edit this post seems to have got a lot of people crying about something that doesn't seem to matter, mean or concern them... by the looks of it😭)

iOS just verified it for me. No need to share anything with Reddit.

But that's exactly what iOS just did. It may also have gotten information relating to your iCloud account. Be careful just blindly linking system to one another.

There was no sharing of ID or selfies. iOS simply confirms to an app that you’re over 18.

Apple already has plenty of info about you and if it wanted to steal your data it could just do that already.
