It’s for adults too. The headlines are focused on protecting children, but the real question is how everyone else gains access. If social media platforms are required to know who’s under 16 and who’s not, then adults will need to verify their age as well. No age verification, no access. Whether that’s through facial scans, banking data, digital identity systems, or another form of age assurance remains to be seen. But one thing is clear, this isn’t just about children. It’s about how access to the digital world is increasingly tied to verification. What are your thoughts? Protection, privacy, or a bit of both?
