The EU is implementing a new Age Verification (AV) app starting July 1, 2025, to confirm adulthood for accessing online services, including social media platforms. This aims to protect minors and comply with the Digital Services Act (DSA) by providing a simple "18+ ✅" confirmation without revealing personal data. A digital identity wallet is planned for 2026. Critics raise concerns about surveillance risks, while experts see it as a step towards a more responsible Internet.
