The Australian parliament plans to enforce social media age restrictions using various potential methods. One approach is biometric age estimation, where users upload a video selfie that is analysed for age-related features. The data is processed and deleted afterward, ensuring privacy. Another option involves document-based verification, requiring users to submit documents like a passport or birth certificate to a third-party service that confirms age anonymously via a verification token. A third method suggests age inference through data cross-checking, analysing users’ email or account activity and comparing it with known accounts. These methods aim to ensure compliance while protecting user privacy.
