We have released a new video describing changes we’ve made to the Age Verification system.
These changes are intended to maximize the effectness and trustworthiness of the system while reducing the amount of user data stored on either VRChat or Persona’s systems to the minimum possible while retaining functionality and effectiveness.
Please watch the video and re-read the OP to get a handle on these changes. Many questions in this thread are answered in the changes.
We have updated the OP with new answers reflecting these changes.
In particular, please view these new FAQ items that detail how the hashing works.
Several other questions now contain amended answers that address this functionality.
We will continue to monitor this thread for new questions. Some questions in this thread have already been answered in the OP, so please review the OP before asking your question.
We expect testing to begin soon. If you submitted a request to be included in testing, please keep an eye on your email. Testing slots are limited and there were a lot of responses, so the majority of groups that requested will not be a part of testing.
