A new idea to protect kids online
The Future of American Innovation (FAI) has introduced a novel approach to enhance online safety for minors by implementing privacy-preserving age verification methods. Traditional age-gating systems often face challenges related to user privacy and data security. FAI’s proposal suggests utilizing advanced cryptographic techniques that allow users to confirm their age without disclosing personal information. Additionally, decentralized ledgers could authenticate credentials without storing sensitive data, and artificial intelligence could assess publicly available information to verify a user’s age. This initiative aims to create a safer online environment for children while respecting user privacy and addressing the limitations of existing age verification systems.
