If it fails the facial recognition then it just goes to a person to check, so if it's not obvious it might just get approved anyway.
If you have a big mole and they notice it's on the opposite side then they will probably reject the photo, but most if the time the mirroring or distortion is hard to spot so it will probably get accepted anyway.
Mirroring may won't work for me due to a distinguishing mark but it sounds like one of those phone selfies with a huge nose would.
Hmm decisions decisions. On the one hand I'm against surveillance capitalism, on the other hand what's the bet that facial recognition tech improves exponentially and I'm stuck with identification that looks like Gollum for no purpose.
If it helps your decision, they probably have plenty of previous photos to use so it probably won't make much difference 😅
