Are they asking for selfies, or selfies of the user? Important difference.
And it would know the difference how?
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.
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?
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.
This is only a guess though.
