James Baker, Platform Power Programme Manager at Open Rights Group, said:
“In less than a year, we’ve gone from proposals to check ID for porn to the prospect of checking ID to access social media or unlock everyday features such as livestreams or feeds. These online ID systems put both children and adults’ sensitive data at risk.”
“Evidence coming out of Austrialia where a ban is in place suggests that many young people are seeking to avoid these blanket bans, and they aren’t effective.
“MPs should look at other policy options that change the underlying business models of social media platforms so we can build better online spaces rather than imposing blanket restrictions.”
Open Rights Group reiterated its call for stronger regulation of the age assurance industry, alongside robust data protection safeguards.
The group also warned that when details of the regulations to impose bans emerge they must not sweep up low-risk community forums and small services, which are already being forced offline due to the burden of complying with the Online Safety Act.
