Can porn sites use an age recognition algorithm to protect minors?

Facial analysis for age verification is a solution offered, for example, by The Poken Company, which has developed a blockchain-based service platform for creators and publishers of adult content. The startup works with Yoti’s facial analysis solution, a provider that has also been chosen by Instagram to verify the age of its users.

The European Commission has plans to work on a certification and interoperability framework for commercial online age verification solutions. It announced in May that it would launch a request for standardization as part of the proposal for a digital identity, starting in 2023; and that it would support the development of an EU-wide recognized digital proof of age starting in 2024.
