Working title: Dynamic Coalition on data and trust: Stakeholders Speak - Perspectives on Age Verification
This session is meant as an introduction into the topic of age verification and aims to bring in viewpoints by various stakeholders. It will be focused on practical issues and case studies by different stakeholders.
Session description
This session launches a series of regional and global conversations on age verification, originally initiated by IGF Czechia. It aims to critically examine the complexities of age assurance systems, particularly the delicate balance between child protection, privacy rights, and digital inclusion. Participants will assess current and emerging age verification technologies and regulatory initiatives—highlighting, for example, Australia’s proposed social media ban for users under 16. The discussion will be informed by diverse perspectives from academia, civil society, youth, the technical community, the privacy sector, and government stakeholders. These insights will help identify enforcement gaps, risks of regulatory overreach, and opportunities for rights-respecting industry self-regulation. Youth perspectives and ethical considerations will be central to the dialogue, ensuring that age verification approaches protect users without enabling surveillance or exclusion. The outcomes of this session will be shared across National and Regional Initiatives (NRIs), contributing to an ongoing, multi-stakeholder exchange of best practices and policy development.
Format
We will bring in different speakers online and onsite and run a multistakeholder panel discussion. It will also serve as a warm-up for the main stage conference session on this topic on Wednesday.
