EU Updates Age Verification Standards for Minors
The EU has updated its age verification standards for minors, with a focus on privacy-preserving methods.
MediaNama notes that India's proposed Digital Privacy Data Protection Act, 2023, requires websites and online services to verify user ages.
- If a user is under 18, companies must obtain verifiable parental consent.
- Companies must also refrain from profiling minors for targeted advertising.
The proposal has drawn criticism for its potential privacy implications, as noted by the Commission nationale de l’informatique et des libertés (CNIL).
