Welcome back to another video! Google now wants your face or your ID just to use your own account. If you are watching a video, or just doing something else, a wall could demand that you scan your license or run a credit card to prove you're an adult. And if you use a card? Google admits in the fine print they keep your financial data indefinitely for "legal reasons." People have also been getting emails saying they have 14 days to verify or your account gets wiped. Refuse and you're locked out. And in some regions your verified age gets handed straight to third-party apps. So much for the anonymous internet, I guess. In this video I get into the verification wall, the card data they quietly keep, the 14-day countdown, how it chokes small creators, and where your face scan actually ends up after you upload it. 📌 Chapters: 0:00 - Intro 1:38 - The Hidden Age Verification Mandate 3:11 - Censorship and Scrapped Proposals 4:46 - The Massive Data Privacy Overhaul 6:19 - New Rules and Mandates for AI 7:25 - Outro, what's next? 📚 some interesting stuff with more info: Google's official age verification page: https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/10071085 Google on account age requirements + the 14-day process: https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/1333913 🎙 my gear (amazon associate): ► Microphone - https://amzn.to/4rKPtcE ► Mouse - https://amzn.to/4ubkQyJ ► Keyboard - https://amzn.to/4rP41rE ► Earbuds - https://amzn.to/4u9ARoX ► Main Monitor - https://amzn.to/4aQsqr1 ► Mousepad - https://amzn.to/40bl5w0 ► XLR Interface - https://amzn.to/4aRwVSc alt-titles: youtube is forcing face scans on everyone now. youtube now needs your id to keep watching. youtube is making everyone prove their age.
