Following initial reports of an impending law, California Governor Gavin Newsom has signed AB 1043, the Digital Age Assurance Act, requiring operating system providers to collect users' ages during account setup and share via API with app developers. Effective January 1, 2027, it applies to major platforms like Windows, iOS, Android, macOS, SteamOS, and Linux distributions, aiming for age-appropriate content without biometrics.
Ein neuer Bericht hat Datenschutzprobleme bei Yoti aufgezeigt, der Software zur Altersverifizierung, die neben Meta und TikTok auch von PlayStation genutzt wird. Forscher fanden heraus, dass das Tool mehr Nutzerdaten sammelt als erforderlich und diese mit anderen Parteien teilt. Die Ergebnisse wurden Anfang des Monats auf einer großen Sicherheitskonferenz vorgestellt.
