Age-Based Restrictions Have Come for the Web #75
Description
Session description
Many jurisdictions have enacted (or are currently enacting) regulations on age-based restrictions to online content. These regulations, and their requirements, can have significant effects on technical architectures and end users. This is a complicated technopolicy issue that is moving fast–although the policy debates indicate a lack of understanding about available technologies, their capabilities and their limitations. This breakout seeks to bring together people with interest and insights about this problem, in the hopes of advancing the discussion in a positive direction. The recent IAB/W3C workshop provides a starting point, and will be used to shape the discussion. However, it is clear that more work needs to be done to develop, explore, and analyze different technical approaches to this problem space. Please join us to learn and help identify better solutions in this space.
Session goal
Develop a shared understanding of age-based content restriction considerations; Deepen insights into technological solutions (e.g., zero-knowledge proofs, device-enforcement): their capabilities, limitations, deployment considerations, etc; Identify standards work–if any–for addressing these issues
