Only CC?

Doesn't many out there use other data? This article looks like it needs much work, seems to only cover a small fraction of all of the stuff covered by the concept... --TiagoTiago (talk) 03:52, 17 January 2009 (UTC)Reply

List of services?

edit

There seem to be a lot of these now, with varying levels of privacy protections. Can someone suggest how to start a list? Maybe start with Yoti and AgeGo? Including some information on privacy and whether they need a smartphone. 213.219.168.157 (talk) 14:01, 13 July 2021 (UTC)Reply

I don't know why this exists. Seems like an ad. 1q9w (talk) 22:55, 12 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

UK Application to Wikipedia

edit

There are references online to the possible application of age verification to Wikipedia. Should this be discussed in this topic? I am sure there are many (including me) who are concerned about this 'mission creep'. Old Aylesburian (talk) 08:34, 23 August 2025 (UTC)Reply

Any discussion of this would be speculative at the moment. The article on the Online Safety Act 2023 more than suitably covers it. I'd also suggest that we give undue weight to discussions of Wikipedia compared to other sites. (As discussed in the article about the OSA, a number of prominent web services such as Bluesky have already implemented age verification to comply with the OSA, so it'd probably be better to discuss actual concrete OSA implementations rather than currently speculative implementations.) —Tom Morris (talk) 09:29, 25 August 2025 (UTC)Reply
