Several countries are intensifying efforts to enforce age verification measures on online platforms to protect minors from inappropriate content. In the United Kingdom, the Online Safety Act has led to the introduction of mandatory age checks, resulting in an additional 5 million daily verifications, although risks to minors persist. Similarly, France's digital regulator, Arcom, has issued formal warnings to five popular pornographic websites for failing to implement age verification systems, threatening potential blocking if compliance is not met. In Australia, authorities have taken a more drastic approach by banning YouTube access for children under 16, sparking debate over children's online rights and safety. Meanwhile, YouTube is deploying AI-based age verification in the United States. Additionally, Florida has filed lawsuits against major pornographic sites, including XVideos and Bang Bros, for non-compliance with age verification laws. These developments reflect a broader global trend toward stricter regulation of online content to safeguard minors.
