The Importance of Identity and Age Verification on Social Media

Adolescent and Child Protection

Children frequently lack the ability to accurately assess the risks of online activities, and their exposure to inappropriate content (violence, sexual content, substance abuse, offensive language, and so on) can be dangerous if they imitate such behavior. By verifying identity and age on social media, children are prevented from easily accessing age-inappropriate content, protecting them from online threats. 

Online Safety

The risks of online scams, cyberbullying, and fraudulent activities on social media are rising. Identity and age verification contributes to the creation of a secure online environment in which people can interact with confidence, knowing that they are interacting with genuine, verified individuals. This reduces the prevalence of fake accounts and inappropriate behavior.

Reducing Spam and Inappropriate Content

Identity verification can reduce the presence of spam accounts and inappropriate content on social media, improving user experiences by reducing unwanted and harmful information. 

Personal Privacy Protection

Identity and age verification systems that use zero-knowledge proof technology (a method that allows checking the accuracy of information without revealing the data itself) prevent unauthorized use of users' personal information and protect user privacy from data misuse.

The significance of user identity and age verification when using social media.
