Are you worried about Instagram, Bluesky, TikTok, or other apps asking for your sensitive, private ID information? Is it safer to share it with the age verification partner companies (even though they have had data breaches)? What does age "estimation" mean—is it safe? and how often is it wrong?

Is there any way to resist this invasive, spreading, technology?

Yes. People across the world are fighting back, and we're proud to lead the charge. 

 Our Age Verification Hub has everything you need to know, and you can subscribe to get it in email and share it to help educate people you know.

You'll get steps you can take to protect yourself from age verification surveillance, and learn how we can push companies and government officials to expand our rights online.
