House Passes Kids Act Creating De Facto Digital ID Through Age Verification Mandate
Redacted
Ukraine Warns That Putin is Readying Massive Offensive to Capture Kiev and Odessa, Iran Says No Deal
What was said
"The law creates a requirement so that platforms can protect themselves legally to start checking ages and deploying age estimation or verification tools. So while it claims that it's protecting from age verification, it actually, in a way, mandates that companies do it because they are legally liable if they, quote unquote, should have known that someone was a minor using their platforms."
Privacy expert Maria Z explained how the newly passed Kids Act creates liability for platforms that forces them to implement age verification systems, despite claims the law doesn't mandate it. The legislation stitches together over a dozen bills and passed the House under fast-track rules. Maria Z warned this represents coordinated global digital ID rollout happening in lockstep across France, UK, Australia, Canada, and now the US, with over 80 related state-level bills currently in progress.
