Meta has advocated for a 'digital majority age' requiring parental consent for teens under 16 to access social media, supporting a proposal by President Macron of France. They outlined three key principles: mandatory parental approval for app downloads, ensuring consistency across software services, and establishing robust age verification. Concurrently, Google has released Zero-Knowledge Proof libraries aimed at improving age verification mechanisms, enabling users to prove their age without disclosing personal information. This dual effort promotes a safer online environment for children and teenagers in the EU.
