00:00Age verification with a selfie.
00:02Can this work?
00:02Countries worldwide are looking for ways to protect minors from the harmful effects of
00:06social media.
00:07Age verification tech plays a crucial role in that.
00:10The I'm 18 button is not a solution.
00:13Brazil recently introduced the digital ECA.
00:15It requires robust age verification to access what is considered high-risk content, including
00:21certain parts of social media.
00:23You might have to show your ID or even scan your face.
00:25The problem?
00:26AI face scans can be tricked, and the systems make mistakes, especially when it comes to
00:31ethnic minorities.
00:33And uploading an official ID raises security concerns.
00:36What if that data gets exploited?
00:38Plus, critics argue that these measures don't tackle the root of the problem, proactively
00:42battling harmful and illegal content.
00:45Would you upload your ID to get full access to a social media platform, because it might
00:49display sensitive or adult content?
