  • Twitch now requires facial age verification to watch mature content in some regions using video selfies processed on your device.
  • The system uses k-ID technology and targets gambling streams and other 18+ content to comply with new online safety laws.
  • Users must scan their face to access restricted streams with many expressing privacy concerns about the new requirement.
