Apple Supports Digital ID Push With Facial Age Estimation
Reclaim The Net ^ | 10/27/2026 | Ken Macon

Apple is increasing its support of the digital ID age verification agenda and has released iOS 27.2, bringing a new way for Apple to verify your age: by scanning your face with an “age-estimation model” that will be fed by a selfie.

This is one of the ways in which Apple will check the age of its users, and it applies, as the company’s support page states, “Where required by law.”

The legal requirements that make this necessary in the US apply in Texas, and elsewhere in the world in Australia, Brazil, Singapore, South Korea, and the UK. The iOS update that introduces the new method of age verification was released on October 26.

Thank you very much and God bless you.

Stunningly ridiculous.

Seems like AL is going above and beyond with this. "while Alabama’s goes even further, requiring every existing account in the state to be age-verified by October 1, 2027."

Why the states have an interest in this is beyond me.

Apple/BigTech is an active partner with the Soros cabal.
In a related Soros matter...

Good News Victoria ☠️@Goodnewsviki1
BREAKING: Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is reportedly gearing up to REVOKE the tax-exempt status of nonprofits including George Soros’ Open Society Foundations, CAIR, and the Southern Poverty Law Center.

And it could come with massive CIVIL PENALTIES and back taxes.

For decades, these political operations have masqueraded as “charities” while living tax-free on the American dime.

- Open Society pushes open borders, funds radical prosecutors, and bankrolls NGOs that sue America for enforcing immigration law.

SPLC slanders conservative and Christian groups as “hate groups” to get them deplatformed.

- CAIR has been cited by federal prosecutors as an unindicted co-conspirator in the largest terrorism financing trial in U.S. history.

And you, the taxpayer, have been subsidizing it.

According to the NY Post, Treasury and IRS are drawing up a sweeping audit under President Trump’s 2025 executive order targeting nonprofits operating with a “substantial illegal purpose” - financing political violence and organized radical action.

Bessent’s inner circle is drafting the blueprint to strip 501(c)(3) status, which would force them to pay the 21% corporate tax rate like every real business.

If taxed at 21% for 2024 alone:

Soros network would owe $163.6 MILLION

SPLC: $354,000

17 CAIR chapters: $860.000
- Combined total: ~$165 MILLION in taxes they dodged

Treasury officials are “like a dog with a bone” on this, sources say. Many of these groups are “on borrowed time.”

This was made possible by Trump’s memorandum “Countering Domestic Terrorism and Organized Political Violence” that directs the IRS to ensure no tax-exempt entities are financing political violence.

Bessent put it bluntly: “We are examining where tax exempt status has been exploited, where charitable entities have become financial conduits for foreign influence... and have enabled violence.”

The ultimate irony? Bessent used to be Soros’ own chief investment officer. Now he’s the man dismantling the Soros empire.

It’s about time.

years ago I worked with some one who was mid 20s. he lived in a sunny state and smoked and drank. One day in looking at him I realized his face didnt fit this mid 20s body. his face was so wrinkled and weathered, easily could guess he was 70s or more, or really rough life 50s, yet he was mid 20s.

Age related recognition is worthless, with facelifts and all these anti aging things nowadays.

I don’t take issue with age verification, but I do take issue if my image and legal name is in possession of someone other than myself.

After today in you need to do business with the feds you need an Id.me account. You upload a picture of your DL or passport and then you are prompted to have your picture taken from the smartphone camera for verification.

Were if accurate, it would devastate many women.

I've come across so many women who say things like, "I'm 43, but everyone thinks I'm 25."

Every women insists that everyone else thinks they look 15 to 20 years younger. They insist that everyone says so, and so it must be true.

Then there's the "biological age" concept. "I'm 52, but I'm so healthy, my biological age is really 28."
