Regulators are pulling out their hammers in Europe as part of a growing international crackdown on the lack of privacy protection for users and an increased focus on requiring age verification.
But what is age verification?
Age verification is the process of confirming an individual's age to determine if they are legally allowed to access certain content, products, services, or activities that have age restrictions.
Why is age verification important?
Age-restricted content on most websites only requires the users to enter their year of birth. There is no real validation of the submitted information.
As legislation around this topic becomes more pressing, merchants will have to find ways that ensure their services remain compliant.
But this is easier said than done. Particularly as implementing new compliance systems can be cumbersome and very costly.
How can Concordium help?
As the most regulation-ready blockchain with an identity (ID) layer embedded at the protocol level, Concordium enhances age verification processes. It provides a secure and decentralized way to verify a person's age while maintaining their privacy.
