Spotify now requires users to verify their age for access to mature content, following the UK’s Online Safety Act. Effective July 25th, this law mandates digital services to implement robust age verification measures. Spotify, in partnership with biometric firm Yoti, uses facial scanning and ID submission to check users' ages, particularly for those possibly under 13. Accounts not complying with these checks risk deactivation. The policy has raised privacy concerns and faced criticism regarding its invasive nature and potential circumvention by underage users.
