Won't "age verification" just mean one of those useless forms where you're supposed to enter your birthday?

- Aerroon 4y agoOr it could mean Google's age verification for YouTube: send them a copy of your national ID or add a credit card. If you don't do that then you can't watch Battlefield trailers.
- jacooper 4y ago> you can't watch Battlefield trailers. This reminds me of how dumb gaming age ratings are, almost nobody follows them. Everyone plays COD be it a kid or an adult.

- somedude895 4y agoWhich country? I've never had to add any of those things to my Google account to verify my age on YT.
- Aerroon 4y agoIn the EU. Only some accounts were flagged for this restriction and I believe in the past year it was removed or changed. But for a period of several months I could not watch Battlefield trailers.
- cuttysnark 4y agoIf Canada's implementation is anything like the UK's, the ISP will be responsible for this mechanism, not the site operators themselves. By default, it would be "on", blocking sites which are "adult" in nature. Not sure how they determine what to block beyond a known-list of adult sites and scanning headers/metadata. I assume there are lots of false positives.
