UK’s government announced today that new age-verification checks will be put into place to prevent Internet users under the age of 18 to access and watch online pornography starting with July 15. The British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) will be responsible for ensuring compliance with the new laws. The new age verification rules will not allow Internet users to just type their date of birth or tick a box. Instead, the new UK age confirmation solutions will range from the use of traditional ID documents online (for example, credit cards or passports) to mobile phones.
