ACCOMMODATING CHILDREN’S NEEDS ONLINE: AN IMPOSSIBLE TASK?
summary
EU regulators push age checks (DPC ordered suspension pending compliance), the UK codifies an Age‑Appropriate Design Code (statutory since 2020) and certification schemes under Article 42 exist; California enacts a similar law that effectively forces broad age verification and raises First Amendment risks. Industry counts ~40 providers; technical work includes ISO 27566, a CNIL proof‑of‑concept using digital signatures and zero-knowledge proofs to enable double anonymity; remaining gaps are interoperability, vendor concentration, algorithmic bias and inconsistent enforcement.
