The Ministry of Digital Development of the Russian Federation wants to introduce age identification on online platforms.
In Russia, age identification may be introduced on online platforms. The measure is being developed by the country's Ministry of Digital Development, stated the head of the agency, Maksut Shadaev, at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum, reports Interfax. "Overall, I think the nearest agenda is still the question of integrating age identification mechanisms into platforms. This issue will definitely arise before us," Shadaev said. According to him, Europe and many developed countries are already moving "towards strict restrictions" in this direction. The ministry is particularly studying the experience of the gaming platform Roblox — how it has built mechanisms for verifying users' ages. Shadaev did not disclose other details.
It is worth noting that Australia was the first in the world to ban children under 16 from registering on Instagram*, TikTok, Facebook*, and Snapchat. Indonesia and Malaysia have set the same age limit. France and Italy have taken a different approach: there, children under 15 and 14, respectively, need parental consent to create an account. In Europe, the consent threshold has been set by Denmark (15 years) and Belgium (13 years), while Norway, Spain, and Greece are preparing complete bans for children under 15-16 years.
