Child safety online: Online age assurance is on the rise, but a complex legal landscape leaves children unevenly protected.
#AgeAssurance is key to safer online spaces for children, but the complicated legal and policy landscape across borders makes it challenging to implement consistently. A new OECD report aims to help policymakers navigate this complex terrain: oe.cd/66I
#OnlineSafety #DigitalPolicy #ChildProtection
Age assurance to protect young people online is underused. Only 2 out of 50 digital services verify age at sign-up.
Governments, tech firms & child rights organisations see #AgeAssurance as key to safe digital spaces.
But a new OECD review of 50 online services reveals that most don’t verify age at account creation, and safeguards are often easy to bypass: oe.cd/66o
