Device-Based Age Verification for Online Content


Device-Based Age Verification for Online Content
The Issue
The state of Florida's current policy requires an age verification system to view explicit content, which is in the interest of safety and privacy. However, the current requirements are platform based. A more effective solution can be the usage of device-based identification for users trying to access age-restricted materials and websites. This approach balances security measures across all platforms equally while safeguarding users' personal information. Statistics from the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) indicate that 13% of identity fraud cases in 2019 were as a result of incorrect age verification methods, showing the need for a more secure and privacy-focused method like device-based identification. Therefore, we urge Florida's legal representatives to reconsider the implementation of this more refined method of age verification. Your signature can help to create a safer and privacy-focused internet environment for all. Please, sign this petition to fight for our right to privacy.
