London, United Kingdom, November – Ondato, a global provider of digital identity and age verification solutions, has released a report that maps the intricacies of age verification regulations worldwide. This report offers insights for businesses that must navigate age-related compliance requirements.
With updating regulations, ensuring age-appropriate access has become more important than ever. Governments and regulatory authorities across the globe are instituting and enforcing strict age verification measures to protect minors from accessing potentially harmful content and services. In the past two years, 15 states have implemented new age verification regulations in the US alone, and that number is only growing. Europe, the UK, Canada, and other regions have all already updated or are updating their laws on age verification. Ondato’s latest report compiles these regulations into an easy-to-understand resource, delivering a comprehensive overview of age verification standards.
The report analyzes age verification laws and practices across major markets, including the EU, the United States, the United Kingdom, and emerging economies. It provides sector-specific insights into regulations affecting industries such as gaming, social media, e-commerce, and online content streaming. Additionally, the report identifies common compliance challenges that businesses face when navigating diverse regulations and explores how technology can help mitigate these issues.
“Our goal is to empower businesses with the knowledge and tools they need to stay compliant and protected,” said Liudas Kanapienis, CEO and co-founder at Ondato. “This report is an invaluable tool for companies striving to keep pace with the evolving regulatory environment. Even today, as we publish this report, Australia is testing out age verification systems for what could become a social media ban for anyone younger than 16 years old.”
With changing regulations focusing heavily on data privacy, the need for age verification solutions that offer anonymity only grows. Because of this, Ondato recently released a reusable age verification solution that is able to verify user ages and keep the costs low while allowing companies to fully comply with the newest regulations.
The report is now available for download on Ondato’s official website. For further inquiries or to access the report, please visit https://ondato.com/ondato/age-verification-lawsuits/#Age_Verification_Regulations_Worldwide
