Reddit has implemented an age verification system in the United Kingdom to comply with the UK's Online Safety Act. The new system requires UK users to upload a photo of themselves before accessing Not Safe For Work (NSFW) subreddits. This measure aims to ensure that only adults can access adult content while maintaining user privacy by minimizing the amount of personal information shared. Concurrently, the European Union is testing a new age-check application in five countries, including France, designed to verify users are over 18 without requiring them to disclose sensitive personal details such as their name, birth date, or browsing history. French authorities and organizations, such as the association e-Enfance, have expressed readiness for these online age verification initiatives.
