Biometric gating and human verification for posting or subscriptions

April 5, 2026Garry Tan, Tony Dinh

Garry Tan questions Anthropic limiting subscriptions to a real human pressing enter, while Tony Dinh builds a social network that requires biometric authentication to post, reflecting rising friction to deter bots and automation.

You're going to have to verify with FaceID?
I built a social network called OnlyHuman that only allows you to post after you authenticate with biometric.
