Age Assurance in Practice: Global Frameworks and Client Experiences

Talking Points:

  • Global Regulatory Spotlight: insights on the UK’s OSA, EU’s DSA/AVMSD, US state cases, Brazil’s mandates, and Australia’s new codes, and what they mean for cross-border businesses.
  • Privacy vs. Safety: how overlapping rules like the ICO Children’s Code and Online Safety create dual compliance risks.
  • Cross-Border Challenges: why regulators are scrutinizing global operations and how companies can avoid penalties abroad.
  • Market Growth: adoption trends from adult content to gaming, fintech, streaming, and retail.
  • Technology & Trust: balancing strong verification with privacy, data minimization, and frameworks like mDL and EUDI Wallet.
  • Future-Proof Strategies: what distinguishes leading providers and how to prepare for convergence or divergence in global laws.
