It's not required in my country and I get the checks. This has nothing to do with legislation.
- sbarre 5y agoWhen you say "get the checks" do you mean YouTube is asking for a copy of your ID or that it's giving you the regular age gate check?
- pitaj 5y agoI can't confirm without knowing what country you live in. I understand essentially the whole EU requires this, and the US is one example where the checks aren't required.
- JI00912 5y agoHow would you confirm though? So far I'm seeing a lot of rumors but no one seems have produced any actual legislation that I can see anyway.
- ldjb 5y agoThis is covered by the Audiovisual Media Services Directive 2018/1808. EU member states were supposed to transpose this into national legislation by 19 September 2020, but not all have.

- ehsankia 5y agoDo you get the check that you need any account, or the check that you specifically need an account with ID verification?
- windowojji 5y agoPlease say which country you're referring to when you say "in my country" on the internet. It allows others to contextualize and verify otherwise useless information.
