It is for parents to raise their children. Not platforms.

The European Age Verification App is ready.

It will allow users to prove their age when accessing online platforms. Just like shops ask for proof of age for people buying alcoholic beverages.

And it ticks all the boxes:
βœ… Highest privacy standards in the world
βœ… Works on any device
βœ… Easy to use
βœ… Fully open source

If it is for parents to raise their children, then why is age verification needed at all? Parents have all the tools they need already - most devices come with parental controls, and of course they can decide when to give devices at all.

@Gargron What I (as a father of two, 10 and 12) am missing is parental controls *inside* the apps.
Think checking in on what my boys listen to on Spotify. Think maybe whitelisting people in WhatsApp.
I have strong parental controls set up, some apps are too useful to pass over but equally to dangerous in inexperienced hands.

@Gargron Because parents collectively have been doing a purely shit nob of it for the last two decades and thats indisputable fact.

@Gargron If big tech cared about children they would ship devices all set-up day one and not rely on parents navigating the often impossible maze of parental controls.

Basic things often make parental controls worthless. My son had an Amazon tablet with the Outlook app installed but as it had an in app browser it removed all the search restrictions I had set up with the default browser so my son had full access to the internet.
