'''AV''' (Age Verification) also referred to as '''AA''' (Age Affirmation) is the process in where a business requires some form of identification to verify your age. This is usually done for more explicit or mature content. This practice has been widely spreading since the UK's OSA (Online Safety Act) has passed; requiring all individuals to verify themselves before accessing mature content. Certain ways of checking can include: checking for a valid credit card, facial age estimation tools, government issued id, bio-metric data, or account history behavior and so forth. | '''AV''' (Age Verification) also referred to as '''AA''' (Age Affirmation) is the process in where a business requires some form of identification to verify your age.
