Age verification tech matures as governments push aggressive online safety laws for kids

Governments worldwide are implementing stringent age-checking requirements for social networks, AI chatbots, and adult content sites following Australia's landmark teen social media ban. Advanced facial analysis and AI-powered tools now verify ages with error margins below 1.77 years, costing as little as single-digit cents per check. But the rapid expansion raises critical data privacy concerns as millions of adults face mandatory identity verification.
