""The most lightweight way is with something like Face ID or Touch ID. They actually require a human presence, like a human has to touch, or do or look at something, so that actually just proves there's a person there or gets you pretty far.""
""Part of our promise for our users is we don't know your name but we do want to know you're a person. It'll be an evolution for us for a while, and probably every platform to find the right middle ground here.""
Reddit's CEO, Steve Huffman, is considering various methods to verify users as human, including Face ID and Touch ID. These biometric methods require human interaction, making them effective for verification. Other options include decentralized third-party services and more burdensome ID-checking services. While Reddit aims to combat the rise of bots, it also prioritizes user anonymity. Huffman acknowledges the challenge of balancing verification with the platform's commitment to user privacy, stating that finding the right approach will take time.
