#Reddit uk age verification

Reddit has started implementing age verification for users in the United Kingdom who wish to access mature content. In a post published on July 15, Reddit said it partnered with identity verification provider Persona to handle the checks. UK communications regulator Ofcom confirmed the age verification requirement and said the compliance deadline is July 25. Further details on Reddit’s verification process are available on the platform’s official help page. Users may be required to verify their age by submitting a valid government ID or using facial age estimation through Discord’s verification partners. Discord emphasizes that its ID-based age verification is privacy-focused. In some cases, users may be asked to complete more than one verification method to confirm their age group.
