Summary
Governments are implementing online age verification laws, but these often compromise user privacy or are ineffective. Public trust and engagement are low, hindering the success of these online safety measures.
Area of Science:
- Social Sciences
- Law
- Technology Policy
Background:
- Growing concerns regarding online harms to children have prompted legislative action globally.
- Governments are mandating online service providers to implement age verification to mitigate these risks.
Purpose of the Study:
- To examine the extent of age verification legislation worldwide.
- To determine if governments employ a "responsibilization" strategy for online age verification.
- To assess UK public sentiment towards online age verification laws.
Main Methods:
- Comparative analysis of global age verification legislation.
- Qualitative assessment of governmental strategies in online safety policy.
- Public opinion survey within the UK regarding age verification laws.
Main Results:
- Governments are increasingly adopting a "responsibilization" approach, shifting the burden onto service providers.
- Implemented age verification systems are frequently either privacy-invasive or technically ineffective.
- UK public shows disengagement and distrust towards government initiatives on online age verification.
Conclusions:
- Current age verification strategies often fail to balance safety with privacy and effectiveness.
- Lack of affordable, privacy-preserving technological solutions persists globally.
- Public distrust and disengagement pose significant challenges to achieving the objectives of online safety and age verification legislation.
