Comment on So what are we going to do with all this social media age-gate stuff?

I don’t think they can have any idea whether they can implement the guidelines for what co stitutes reasonable checks for age until the commissioner actually comes out with the guidelines.

That’s a fair point. I’m not sure it really changes many of the struggles though. Any method will probably take some amount of time or effort. The only thing that wouldn’t, would be implementing a checkbox that you’re over 16, but that’s already been specifically ruled out. I can’t off the top of my head think of any other ways that would verify (or at least determine beyond a reasonable doubt) somebody’s age without some investment of time, or money for someone else to do it
I think someone mentioned that writing styles and phrasing may count, but even that would require the admins to review a sample of somebody’s writing. I think that or a face scan would be the two quickest or cheapest things to do, but would still add at least an extra 30 seconds per application
