Commentary: Age-gating the internet won't make kids safe
Original: Commentary: Satya Marar: Age-gating the internet won’t make kids safe
Policy analyst Satya Marar argues that age-gating the internet will not actually make children safe online. Writing in commentary published by the Jacksonville Journal-Courier, Marar contends that online age-verification mandates are an ineffective approach to child safety. The piece adds to an ongoing debate over laws requiring websites to verify users' ages, which critics say threaten privacy and free expression while being easy to circumvent.
Why now: Lawmakers in multiple countries and US states are actively considering or enforcing online age-verification laws, keeping the debate prominent.
