They can force you to use your phone’s camera. Due to faceID, modern phones have fairly sophisticated cameras that can tell the difference between a static image and a 3d physical face.
Modern facial recognition cameras project a grid of infrared dots on your face and use the distortion of them to sense the depth and contours of your face. You’d have to 3d print a head to defeat it.
That said, Reddit is probably doing the bare minimum to comply with the law and will probably just use an uploaded 2d image.
I’m not the person you were replying to but maybe the limit of using the websites like the ones I posted is you can’t reuse the same face (at least not than I’m aware of).
So if you are in the UK and you upload 2 selfies from the site and the facial recognition pattern is different from each other, then the system which Reddit is using might reject it.
It should be trivial to generate a stack of similar enough selfies to fool these systems. Still, any site that starts requiring this shit isn’t worth going on.
Are they asking for selfies, or selfies of the user? Important difference.
And it would know the difference how?

I don’t use my phone for shit like this. If anything that could be just a website can only be used through an “app”, I just don’t use it.
Edit, also, what’s stopping me from holding my phone to a computer screen?

Meh, it’s just software

This is only a guess though.

Agreed. I hope more people leave that dumpster fire.
