@miss-lillipants said in About age verification impacting this website:

Australia is similar - the laws will come into effect in December. Given the vagueness with things like what constitutes “reasonable steps” (for websites to prevent Australian children under 16 from having accounts), and what @foreverlurk said about the location of web hosts, I don’t imagine that DD will actually be affected by them. But I’m no expert.

What shits me is that it’s clearly not about safety for young people on the internet - or anyone’s safety really.

It seems to be up to the individual platforms to determine how they want to verify ages. From what I read, legal documents shouldn’t be a requirement (ie, you shouldn’t need to provide your real driver’s license or passport) and instead should use things like face identification or activity tracking to determine ages.

The only upside is that the government seems to be manually selecting what websites are affected – that’s why there was such a big fuss about whether or not YouTube was included – and I think Daddy’s Dollhouse can fly under the radar for that one.
