Age verification is a reality on a growing number of social media platforms, requiring an ID or facial scan for full access to everything from YouTube<\/a> to Roblox<\/a>. The age-gating wave is coming along with calls for stronger child safety measures online<\/a>, despite concerns about privacy, security, and censorship.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In the US, lawmakers are pushing forward bills like the App Store Accountability Act<\/a> and Parents Over Platforms Act to have app stores themselves verify users\u2019 ages.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Discord has delayed plans to roll out age verification<\/a> globally after user backlash until later in 2026, but it hasn\u2019t completely shelved them, even after a breach of a former vendor last year<\/a> that leaked some users\u2019 scanned IDs. Meanwhile, other platforms, like ChatGPT<\/a> and Google<\/a>, are applying AI models to identify and lock down accounts suspected of being underage until some form of identity verification can prove the user is an adult.<\/p>\n
