Facebook Dating will use your face to verify you're old enough.

Meta is testing a new age verification system on its Facebook Dating platform to determine if you're over the age of 18 – but if only you live in the United States.

Age verification on Facebook Dating appears to take cues from both Tinder’s and Bumble’s own systems. Meta will give users two different ways to verify their age: either through a video selfie or by uploading a picture of their ID, which is very similar to how Facebook confirms account identities. 

For the selfies, the platform is getting some help from digital identity company Yoti. According to Meta, video selfies work by giving users a series of instructions on the Facebook app telling them to make certain poses as their smartphone camera records them. 

That video is then sent over to Yoti where the company will scan your face and estimate your age. If it determines your face to be over the age of 18, your profile is now verified. Meta asserts that neither company will save video selfies as each one will be immediately deleted after your age is determined. And the AI won’t learn people’s faces or recognize identities.

If the name “Yoti” sounds familiar, that’s because it’s the same company Meta uses on Instagram’s age verification system to protect minors. Video selfies are used in a similar fashion with users making certain poses after which the system takes around 20 minutes to verify their age. But unlike with Facebook, it appears Yoti holds onto data from Instagram (within 30 days from upload) instead of instantly deleting it.

The announcement also claims Yoti trained its AI by showing it “individuals from different age ranges, genders, and skin tones.” Facial recognition tech has had a sketchy past with accuracy and recognizing people with darker complexions. Plus many are concerned about having their faces tracked. At face value, Meta is addressing those concerns, which is good, but no one can blame you if you're still worried.

We asked Meta if and when the facial recognition test will go to other global regions. Facebook Dating is available in over 50 other countries including Argentina, Singapore, and the United Kingdom just to name a few. This story will be updated at a later time.

We reached out to Rich and his team at Computer Geek in July 2021. We were in desperate need of help because our former website design agency left us hanging with major website issues that needed immediate attention. Rich and his team were extremely helpful and quick to come to our rescue! They have helped us with numerous projects that have helped our SEO. Our sales have increased 30% since coming to Computer Geek. We've been working with them for about nine months now and are very pleased with their response time and helpful manner. Rich has proven himself to be trustworthy and dependable. We feel valued as a customer and look forward to continuing a relationship with Computer Geek.

I would certainly like to recommend that anyone pursing maintenance for a website to contact The Computer Geek. I have been using another company to do some maintenance on my site with moderate success. There were issues that were evidently beyond what could be handled by them. However, the professionals at The Computer Geek had them addressed and rectified in no time at all. The Computer Geek approached all of my requests focusing on my goals and the needed performance. Then, once versed, presented me with a very reasonable price. Once the projects were in motion, I found that the tasks were achieved before I expected, with professional results. Also, in one instance where The Computer Geeks brought an issue to my attention that I would have likely overlooked. This was accompanied by a recommendation on how to solve the issue. Overall The Computer Geeks exceeded my expectations!

We discovered an issue with our Oscommerce cart processing images. It is about 14 years old and heavily modified. Looking on google for some expert help I found Rich and reached out to him. We received a response the same day. The next day his team was working on our issue and was able to solve it within a few hours. Price was reasonable and we are very appreciative to find a competent and professional oscommerce expert to help successfully troubleshoot our issue.
