⚡🇬🇧 NEW - A new report shows many children in the UK are drawing fake moustaches with makeup or pencils to bypass age checks on social media and apps.
This simple trick fools the face scan tools that check if users are old enough.
One parent caught her 12-year-old son using an eyebrow pencil, which made the system think he was 15, and about one in three children say they get around the rules this way.
