Instagram recently introduced a video selfie verification system to detect spam and fake users. Turns out, the system isn’t that good at its job as it can easily be fooled by a lifeless doll. In a video currently making the rounds, it is seen how Instagram’s new verification process couldn’t detect that it was scanning a Barbie doll and not a real person. Let’s get into the details to know more.
The YouTube video shared by Alexander Chalkidis showcases how he used a Barbie doll for the video selfie verification process. Chalkidis is seen moving the doll in all four directions to get done with the process, much like how it is expected. Weirdly, the process was successfully completed without any issues. You can watch the video below to see for yourself.
