Petition: Do not require age verification for all user-user services

The government is consulting on children’s use of social media and how age verification and age assurance technologies could help implement a potential age restriction on some platforms. We call on the Government not to require age assurance technologies on all user-user services.

Petitions - UK Government and Parliament

So the UK has signed up to:

"42. State authorities should not directly or indirectly impose a general obligation on intermediaries to monitor content which they merely give access to or which they transmit or store, be it by automated means or not."

Has anyone told DSIT or Ofcom? #OnlineSafetyAct

I have not updated my iPhone or MacBook to the latest OS updates because of Apple’s introduction of age verification in the UK. I have a number of Qs that I will be asking Apple & @Ofcom https://t.co/iEInxmRpMn

One of the aspects of #ageverification and #OnlineSafetyAct that few talk about:

Imagine your kid turns 18 and on that very same day, on a still rather vulnerable age, they are bombarded with ads about performing sex work, joining the army, buying guns, alcohol, and whatever addictive tobacco alternative is trending this year.

All thanks to pushing for age and digital IDs being such an available piece of information in the digital landscape.
