Is it time for internet services to adopt identity verification?

Australia's social media ban for users under 16 years old has prompted debate about whether identity verification should become standard for internet services. The policy raises questions about how platforms might implement age assurance while balancing privacy and security concerns. Experts are examining whether verified identity requirements could address child safety risks across digital services.

Why it matters: Practitioners need to understand identity verification requirements that may become regulatory mandates, affecting architecture, compliance, and user authentication systems across their platforms.
