Europe – Several European countries have announced stricter age verification measures for users before allowing them access to adult content websites (18+). This step aims to protect children and teenagers from exposure to such content.
The measures include the use of electronic identity verification technologies. These technologies include national identity cards or age-linked digital payment methods. This is to ensure that access to these sites is restricted to adults only. This step is part of Europe’s ongoing efforts to strengthen online child protection. The aim is to reduce the impact of harmful content on young age groups.
