Mapping the spread of age-verification laws

Governments around the world are making age a condition for accessing certain parts of the internet. This page tracks where such laws are in force, where they are advancing, and how different countries are approaching the same policy goal.

Thing is, governments aren’t making age a condition; they’re making identity verification a condition. Age is just the excuse.

    They missed Canada? Canada has a bill C-34 in the works which bans social media for under-16s and just happens to require everyone to submit their ID to non-Canadian corporations.

    I would actually love Proton to spin up a service for age verification that actually does just that. Be it only to see how fast governments start complaining when they tell them they don't have any data on their users...
