On 11th July 2024, CIPL and the WeProtect Global Alliance hosted the second multi-stakeholder dialogue in an ongoing global dialogue involving key stakeholders on age assurance.
This second multi-stakeholder dialogue served as the inaugural meeting of the law and regulation working group, which was formed to drive the development of consensus-based principles that can inform the wider policy discussion.
The dialogue was grouped around three core topics:
- The When: A risk-based approach to age assurance
- The What: Defining state of the art and finding a common baseline among differing age assurance mechanisms
- The Who: Roles and responsibilities in age assurance
Attendees represented a diverse range of organizations, including child rights organizations, academia, privacy and safety regulators and experts from a number of jurisdictions, lawmakers, government representatives, civil society, age assurance providers, and a wide range of industry representatives including the technology, adult entertainment, social media, telecommunications and financial sectors.
