"Best of all, online platforms can easily rely on our age verification app, so there are no more excuses. Europe offers a free and easy-to-use solution that can protect our children from harmful and illegal content."
"It is our duty to protect our children in the online world just as we do in the offline world. And to do that effectively, we need a harmonized European approach."
"The user downloads the app, agrees to the terms and conditions, sets up a pin or biometric access, and proves their age through an electronic identification system."
The European online age verification app is designed to be anonymous and works with passports or ID cards on various devices. It is open source and allows online platforms to implement it easily. European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen emphasized the need for a harmonized approach to protect children online. The app requires users to set up a pin or biometric access and verifies age without storing personal information. Users can access age-restricted content by scanning a QR code on the site they wish to visit.
