Age verification gate #2

Closed mayukh18 closed 3 years ago

mayukh18 commented 7 years ago

When a new user is encountered ( user doesn't exist in users db ) ask for the age. Simple "What's your age?" Give two options "18 or over" and "under 18". First option will lead directly to the welcome message. The second option will send a message suggesting parental guidance first then go to the welcome message block.

Though the app in under facebook , their policies probably cover this but still it is better to have this check.

Anyone working on this issue?

Pranav-Rastogi commented 7 years ago

I would like to do this.

mayukh18 commented 7 years ago

No one is assigned. Feel free to take this up.

Pranav-Rastogi commented 7 years ago

@mayukh18 Do you have a preference for tabs/spaces?

Pranav-Rastogi commented 7 years ago

The function webhook in app.py, is that the only place where a new user is added?
Which welcome screen should the user be forwarded? I mean does the code already have a welcome screen or should i make one?

mayukh18 commented 7 years ago

A new user will hit "Get Started" that will lead to the getstarted postback in postback.py. It already has a welcome note. What will be good here is that in place of send_newchat_prompt(id=sender) at the end, create something like send_age_prompt(id=sender) that will ask for the age.

When a user clicks one of the age options, there will be another postback call which needs to be handled again in postback.py. You can put the two different messages for the two options there and at the end put the send_newchat_prompt(id=sender) to connect and complete the flow.

@mayukh18 Why not get the age from the user's profile (using the date of birth) and then determine whether they are "18 or over"?

ctrlsam commented 7 years ago

Would love to help out if possible, @Pranav-Rastogi are you still working on this?

Pranav-Rastogi commented 7 years ago

@ajpen that would require the user to click on a button stating they have parental guidance every time they use the service but the OP wants that to be done only at the time of registration.

Pranav-Rastogi commented 7 years ago

@SillySam yes, I'm still working on it. I was a bit busy lately so could not make the necessary changes.

mayukh18 commented 7 years ago

@ajpen there is a different reason. In case of messenger apps, Facebook allows access to a few info like gender, profile picture etc without explicit permission from the user. For extra info, we need to ask the user for permission which I think is not desirable we don't have any other use for it.
