- JI00912 5y agoAny source for that? A few people have claimed legislation to be a reason but I'm not aware of any such rules. Actually I'd be very, very surprised if this was even in the jurisdiction of the EU.
- sbarre 5y agoIt's literally discussed and linked at the top of this thread.
- JI00912 5y agoUmm, no. The start of this thread just a link to joinpeertube and the top comment has no source or link of any kind. So I gather you don't have any source either then.

Google even says so: https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/10070779?hl=en https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/10070779?hl=en >The Audiovisual Media Services Directive (AVMSD) is an EU-wide coordination of national legislation on audiovisual media – both traditional TV broadcasts and on-demand services. Recently, AVMSD was revised to extend certain rules to video sharing platforms (VSPs). >In line with AVMSD, you may be asked to re-verify your date of birth when watching age-restricted videos. Follow the prompts to submit an image of a valid ID or credit card.
