"The broader takeaway was that we shouldn't do proactive enforcement [on Age Verification] unilaterally / without everyone else having to do that, and we should revisit in a year to see where we are."
Robert Michael Sherman: "We talked with them a year ago about youth issues, which was when we had the discussion around age verification. One takeaway from that was that we should begin advocating for platform-level/industry-level solutions as opposed to FB 'owning' it entirely. We've been advocating for this and have gotten some traction but (1) the feedback has been that FB also has to do work on this rather than just advocate to push it off to others, and (2) the next step is to put together a spec with more detail on what this would look like. Probably worth calling out the OS/platform level verification as a piece of the work we are doing centrally.. The broader takeaway was that we shouldn't do proactive enforcement unilaterally / without everyone else having to do that, and we should revisit in a year to see where we are."
Shavi Goel: "The overall prioritization across all obligations was based on enforcement risk, current compliance gap assessment and opportunity to shape the law. India is high on all three... Youth is a combination of many different laws which are medium to high enforcement risk, High on mismatch between compliance and current practices and high on policy opportunity to shape upcoming IDPC and ICO guidelines"
