Providers of online platforms are coming under increasing regulatory pressure to verify their users’ age and identity. Whether it’s through data privacy legislation or the increasing focus on platform regulation, there appears to be a desire, globally, to ensure users are being protected. Part of this responsibility it seems, is for platforms to identify who is using them and how old they are. So in this episode we dive into the subject of age and identity verification online with our guest Julie Dawson of Yoti, a leading provider of an age and identity platform, and Emily Jones, a Partner and data privacy specialist at Simmons & Simmons.
