Age in bios is just the tip of the iceberg. As the world wide web plunges into the virtual mainstream, the need for verified age identification becomes critical. Without proper safeguards, the online realm can quickly turn into a perilous landscape. Let's open our eyes to the potential dangers and demand robust age verification measures, especially in virtual spaces like VRChat, to ensure the safety and well-being of all users.

In 2020, amidst the pandemic, a significant trend emerged: a surge in Virtual Reality device adoption, particularly notable in December of every year. However, this influx brought a challenge – many of the new users were minors, causing discomfort for adult players in VRChat. While VRChat aims to be inclusive, the demographics across various worlds, groups, and platforms demand secure age verification. Implementing this not only enhances safety but also drives revenue as the community expands and creativity flourishes. Let's make VRChat safer and more enjoyable for everyone while growing its potential.

Games like IMVU utilize Veriff for age verification, offering a model that VRChat can benefit from immensely. While VRChat's format differs, the process can be seamlessly integrated into its web-based platform. By leveraging similar systems, VRChat can ensure a safer environment for users of all ages, mirroring the success seen in other gaming communities. Let's take a page from IMVU's book and enhance VRChat's safety measures through efficient age verification processes.

Despite the ups and downs of age verification, VRChat urgently needs to step up its safety game for both adults and minors. We must act fast, conduct thorough research, and implement this plan ASAP to ensure the protection of minors. It's time to prioritize safety and make VRChat a safer place for everyone."
