The global trade body representing suppliers of age verification and age estimation technology solutions, has submitted a response to the European Commission’s call for evidence on implementing the Digital Services Act, particuarly in respect to minors.
The AVPA argues that an interim solution for age verification at 18+ for adult content and other use-cases reliant on physical national ID cards may not be ready much before the European Digital Identity Wallet is available for this purpose. It also questions the need for a complex “double-blind” concept as an incomplete solution in search of a problem, given there are no reports of data or privacy breaches arising from age assurance processes.
The industry is developing a tokenized, interoperable ecosystem through euCONSENT ASBL non-profit NGO which the Association promotes as an effective way to add privacy enhancing technologies (PETs) to the sector’s approach while maintaining a sustainable, open and competitive market for age assurance services.
