Age Verification and Age Gating: Resource Hub
The Electronic Frontier Foundation's resource hub addressing the impacts of age verification laws. It details how mandatory age-gating creates mechanisms for online surveillance, censorship, and exclusion while undermining privacy for users of all ages.
The page details how mandatory age-verification laws—often proposed to protect children online—threaten the digital rights of all users. These mandates create significant mechanisms for increased online surveillance, compromise user privacy by forcing the sharing of personal identification, restrict free expression, and lead to internet censorship and exclusion.
It also provides a good summary of the proposed technologies and limitations.
