Every site will need to do this as Age Verification laws spread all over the world. I was hoping that C4S would use Yoti as an age verification provider as they do offer as part of a package an AI age facial age verification which means that the customer does not have to supply personal info.
But this is the new normal, I'm going to have to move my own website over to a new platform by July to avoid a hefty fine or possible prison sentance.
They do use Yoti. So with that we don't have to provide personal info just a picture? I'm not a tech person I'm old school which is why I'm so against putting personal info online. I figure if I'm going to eventually get hacked I'm at least going to make you work for it, and not just put all my info out there willingly lol.
Yoti offer three different options, but I suppose it will depend on the age verification laws in your local jurisdiction and what package C4S is paying for.
There is
1. Create a Yoti account and it works on every single website that uses Yoti and you get a passkey
2. AI Facial recognition tech which takes a live scan of your face and estimates your age and gives 30 days access to that site before being able to do it again
3. Upload your proof of age to the platform
It's a nightmare for the user, but even more of a nightmare for us producers who are having to bend over backwards to continue selling our product and earn a living.
North Dakota is attempting to do something different which puts the onus on the device manufacturers to lock adult content at point of manufacturer much like mobile phones in the UK, this has been supported by the FSC (Free Speech Coalition) but is receiving significatnt pushback.
Remember this is the aim of the religious right, to stop people viewing porn, and some within the current administration in the USA want to make it illegal to produce anything considered pornography. Its a double whammy now of constantly changing Mastercard rules and now age verification.
Its a difficult landscape and is definately the new normal.
It's also another good reason to not use pirate sites, as they will have to have age verification too, and I am prepared to bet my house that your details are a bloody site more secure with C4S/Yoti then with unethical pirates
