'Can I see some ID?' As online age verification spreads, so do privacy concerns | CBC News

The U.K.'s Online Safety Act took effect last Friday, putting age gates on content deemed unsuitable for minors, including pornography and content about suicide and self harm. While some sites have pulled out of the country rather than comply with the new rules, others are rolling out their own measures beyond the U.K.

This is the third piece in my series examining how we treat young people's online autonomy. In "Kids Belong Online" (https://kaylielfox.substack.com/p/kids-belong-online), I showed how age verification laws force platforms to choose between surveillance and exclusion—with predictable results. In "Teenagers Can Sign $40K Loans but Can't Post Fanfiction?" (https://kaylielfox.substack.com/p/teenagers-can-sign-40k-loans-but) I revealed the bizarre contradictions in when we trust teenagers with life-altering decisions.
Now we're looking behind the curtain at who actually benefits from these "child safety" restrictions. Spoiler: it's not the children.

Kids belong online—but age verification laws are building digital walls between teenagers and the communities they need. My latest piece breaks down why Mississippi's approach creates more problems than it solves, featuring the real story of what happens when platforms choose surveillance or exclusion.

Part 2 of my series exposing the contradictions in "child protection" laws. While lawmakers claim to protect kids online, they've created a system where minors can take on crushing debt but can't join digital communities without adult permission. The hypocrisy runs deeper than most people realize.

We let teenagers mortgage their futures but won't let them share fanfiction without a permission slip. The contradictions in youth autonomy laws reveal who's really being protected—and it's not the kids.

When we refer to child marriage, it includes both minors marrying adults and two young teens tying the knot.

An estimation suggests that only 14% of over 200,000 minors married from 2000-2015 were wedded to fellow minors.
