The Australian Government’s proposal to enforce a 16-year age limit for social media lacks a robust age verification system, limiting its potential effectiveness.
While several regions are considering age restrictions, existing systems have proven ineffective, as most rely on personal honesty that can be easily manipulated by users.
Meta plans to shift responsibility for age verification to app stores like Google and Apple, proposing a parental consent requirement for users under 16.
A unified approach managed at the OS level by companies like Apple and Google may provide a more effective solution to the ongoing issue of age verification.
