Age assurance reshapes the internet as accountability rules tighten

Original: Age assurance reshapes the internet as platform accountability gains ground

Age assurance technology, used to verify users' ages online, is increasingly shaping how the internet operates as governments and regulators push for greater platform accountability. The approach is spreading beyond child-safety measures into broader rules on how platforms verify and govern their users, with providers of biometric and identity-checking tools positioning themselves at the centre of this shift. Observers expect the trend to expand across more jurisdictions and services.

Why now: Regulators worldwide are moving to require age verification, prompting debate over privacy and platform responsibility.
