What This Report Reveals

Age verification is moving from “best practice” to an enforceable legal duty in many jurisdictions
Obligations now extend beyond adult content into social media, app stores, gaming, and e-commerce
Traditional, high-friction checks (ID uploads, manual review) are hurting onboarding speed and conversion
Regulators expect stronger evidence that minors are blocked while personal data is protected
Businesses need adaptive, jurisdiction-aware age-verification frameworks that balance compliance, privacy, and UX
Implementing low-friction, privacy-first age assurance is becoming a strategic differentiator, not just a safeguard
