The Age Verification Workshop, initially planned as an in-person event, will now be held virtually due to expected severe weather. Organizers have announced that a livestream link will be provided on the event page.
The workshop aims to gather a range of participants, including researchers, academics, industry professionals, consumer advocates, and government regulators. Topics scheduled for discussion include the importance of age verification, available tools for age verification and estimation, regulatory challenges related to age verification practices, strategies for broader implementation of these technologies, and how these technologies interact with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA Rule).
