Episode Details

Age verification is exploding online — not just for adult sites, but for social media and personalized apps too. States are passing laws requiring websites to confirm users’ ages, often using invasive methods like ID scans or facial recognition. Critics warn this erodes privacy, turning age checks into a normal part of browsing — even letting apps know your age range. Companies are opting to block entire states rather than build complex systems. If a site suddenly asks for your age, pause: if you don’t know who’s handling your data, it’s safer to walk away. The internet’s privacy is slipping — and these laws could accelerate that loss.
