Rejected petition: Age verification discriminates against every single person in the UK
Rejected on
To stop using age verification which puts people at high risk from identity fraud, fraud and scammers and have by law parental settings on ISP moderns an on devices as it is safer for everyone and it doesn’t discriminate against anyone.
Age verification discriminates against every single person who cannot drive, can’t afford a passport, can’t get a credit card and putting these IDs online puts every single adult and every single child at risk from hackers, identity fraud, scammers, and tricks
The best way to protect children and all adults online is parental settings on the Internet service providers modem and on devices.
We need to scrap age verification and put in place parental settings as law on ISP modems and devices.
