The ESRB has added:

“To be perfectly clear: Any images and data used for this process are never stored, used for AI training, used for marketing, or shared with anyone; the only piece of information that is communicated to the company requesting VPC is a “Yes” or “No” determination as to whether the person is over the age of 25.”

Sure, ok...

I don't know what else to say about this, this will obviously turn into something else.

So it does, in at least some cases, work like that?

It's ok to admit being wrong

Yes, it does work like that in some cases. My comment is technically wrong, the best kind of wrong.

As another commenter pointed out, the way they intend to do it sounds absolutely like they are going to do it the old way, which surprises me because the hold up a photo thing has been a solved problem for a while.
