The Online Safety Act has been implemented in the U.K. to protect children and adults online by introducing responsibilities for social media and search services to verify user ages. The primary goal is to restrict access to harmful content like pornography and self-harm materials. However, the implementation has faced significant challenges, with companies struggling to comply and users dissatisfied. Various age verification methods suggested by Ofcom include facial recognition and ID checks, yet many systems are ineffective and have led to increased use of workarounds like VPNs.
The launch of age assurance systems aims to protect children and adults from harmful content online, including pornography and violence, by verifying user age.
