Mapping the spread of age-verification laws

Governments around the world are making age a condition for accessing certain parts of the internet. This page tracks where such laws are in force, where they are advancing, and how different countries are approaching the same policy goal.

    Thing is, governments aren’t making age a condition; they’re making identity verification a condition. Age is just the excuse.

    I would actually love Proton to spin up a service for age verification that actually does just that. Be it only to see how fast governments start complaining when they tell them they don’t have any data on their users…

      What do you mean, you said all you cared about was making sure they are an adult. They are, it’s verified. Oh, was that not actually the point?
