Global Age Verification Measures: 2024 in Review
74% Informative
Australia ’s Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese , claimed that legislation was needed to protect young people in the country from the supposed harmful effects of social media.
No study shows such harmful impact, and kids don’t need to fall into a wormhole of internet content to experience harm.
Canada also introduced an age verification measure, bill S-210 , which seeks to prevent young people from encountering sexually explicit material.
The European Commission is working on guidelines for the implementation of the child safety article of the Digital Services Act ( Article 28 ) and may come up with criteria for effective age verification.
The Commission has asked for proposals for a 'mini EU ID wallet' to implement device-level age verification ahead of the expected roll out of digital identities across the EU in 2026 .
