Reddit starts lifetime checks for UK users

It will now have to Redditors in the United Kingdom Check their ages Before they can display mature content. Only like BlouseAnd that announced a few days ago that it was offering the features of age verification, Reddit had the application of the new base to comply with the online safety law in the UK. The new requirements of the United Kingdom aim to prevent children from reaching inappropriate jobs. Reddit will use a third party company called Persona to check the user’s life. Users will have to either download an image of their government’s identifier or take a personal photo, as it is assumed that the last option is enough for people who are never no longer like a minor.

In her announcement, Redait said he would not be able to reach these pictures and will not only save their verification status, along with the timing of the births. In this way, users will not have to re -enter their birthdays every time trying to reach restricted content. The advertisement also said that Persona will only keep users’ pictures for seven days and you will not be able to see their Reddit information, such as its publications and the Subreddits they visit.

If the user is less than 18 years old, Reddit will hide the restricted content and will limit ads in sensitive categories, such as gambling. They will not be able to see sexy content, anything that encourages suicide and eating turmoil, as well as anything that incites hatred against others based on their race, religion, sex, sexual orientation, disability and sex. Reddit will also restrict anything that encourages violence and any publication that depicts “real or realistic or real violence against a fictional person, or a fictional creature” for minors. They will not be able to see posts that encourage challenges that are likely to lead to a serious injury, as well as jobs that encourage people to absorb harmful substances. The content that dances the species of people and other physical features will also be restricted.

UK users will not be affected by the new base, but Reddit said it might need to verify the ages of people in other regions if they adopt similar laws. “He wants to be able to confirm whether (users) is a human being) in the era of artificial intelligence and will have more to announce this later.
