The tool was created in response to concerns about online safety and data collection, inspired by the shutdown of Omegle.", "body_md": "I miss the old web. As a kid I could type in \"a/s/l\" in AOL messenger and chat with someone my own age, without worrying about the dangers that lurk on the web today.\n\nAfter seeing what happened to Omegle, a question stuck: is there a simple way to do age verification that both keeps people safe and doesn't contribute to a surveillance state?\n\nAfter a year of hard work, that question resulted in AGEWARDEN. Each part of the service puts people first. No tracking, nothing stored (it's more difficult these days to NOT collect data :smh:).\n\nPlease give it a try if you have a moment [https://agewarden.ai/demo](https://agewarden.ai/demo). Feedback is very much welcomed.\n\nGG\n\nComments URL: [https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48554677](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48554677)\n\nPoints: 2\n\n# Comments: 0", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-privacy-first-voice-age-verification", "canonical_source": "https://agewarden.ai/", "published_at": "2026-06-16 13:04:56+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-06-16 13:19:47.250496+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-products", "ai-safety", "ai-ethics"], "entities": ["AGEWARDEN", "Omegle", "AOL"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-privacy-first-voice-age-verification", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-privacy-first-voice-age-verification.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-privacy-first-voice-age-verification.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-privacy-first-voice-age-verification.jsonld"}}
