A Data-Driven Overview of Emerging Regulations & Their Business Impact
Age verification is no longer optional; global regulations now require businesses across adult content, social media, gaming, retail, and digital platforms to prove users’ ages without adding friction or compromising privacy.

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
