Yoti Age Verification Solution for 2Much-powered websites

Discover how Miricam and other 2Much platforms are integrating Yoti for age verification to comply with new laws in Texas and other southern US states. Ensure legal access to adult content with enhanced privacy and user-friendly technology.

Private & Annonymous Age Verification

In response to the new age verification laws in Texas and other southern states, websites powered by 2Much.net such as Miricam and Really Me now offer YOTI integration, a cutting-edge software to ensure compliance. This move is aimed at addressing the legal requirements that block access to adult content websites without robust age checks.

Yoti provides a secure and user-friendly platform for age verification. By utilizing advanced technology, Yoti ensures that the process is both efficient and privacy-conscious. Users are required to verify their age once through Yoti, and can then access content on any site using Yoti’s services without repeated checks.

This integration benefits Miricam and other 2Much.net clients by streamlining the compliance process with the new laws. It also offers a seamless user experience, minimizing disruption while accessing content. Importantly, Yoti emphasizes the protection of personal information, storing minimal data and using encryption to safeguard user identities.

The deployment of Yoti on these platforms exemplifies a proactive approach to adapting to legal changes while prioritizing user privacy and ease of access. It sets a precedent for other platforms seeking compliant age verification methods, showcasing how technology can bridge the gap between legal requirements and user convenience.

What happened?

A significant legislative move has emerged from Texas and several other southern states, aiming to regulate access to websites with adult content (Read Texas House Bill 1181). This regulation was upheld by the Supreme Court of the United States (Read it here).

As of March 2024, eight states have followed in Louisiana's footsteps. Arkansas, Indiana, Mississippi, Montana, North Carolina, Texas, Utah, and Virginia have all passed laws mandating age verification for accessing adult content. The UK has particularly stringent age verification laws for accessing adult content and online gambling. Other countries like Germany and the Netherlands also enforce age checks in similar sectors to protect minors and comply with legal standards.

This new law mandates that all such websites implement robust age verification processes to ensure that all users are above the legal age limit. The Supreme court allows Texas to enforce age verification for online porn sites.

The law, recently enacted, seeks to curb the exposure of minors to adult content online. Under the new regulations, websites are required to employ strict age verification techniques, such as requiring the upload of government-issued identification or other reliable proof of age before access is granted.

This legislative effort reflects a growing concern about the accessibility of adult content to minors and the potential harms associated with early exposure to such material. Proponents of the law argue that it is a necessary step towards protecting children and teens from the risks of premature exposure to adult content, which can include psychological and developmental impacts.

How it works:

When a user from Texas visits your Miricam website with Yoti age verification installed, the process unfolds seamlessly to ensure compliance with state laws. Upon accessing the website, the user is prompted to verify their age. The user can then choose to proceed with Yoti, which requires them to scan a QR code or click a link that directs them to the Yoti app or website.

The user completes the verification by uploading a government-issued ID or using facial recognition technology within the Yoti system. Yoti verifies the information in real-time, ensuring that the user meets the age requirement. Once verified, Yoti communicates this status back to the website without sharing any specific details of the user's ID, thus maintaining their privacy.

The website then grants access to the content, provided the user's age has been successfully verified. This process is quick and does not require the user to undergo verification again for other sites using Yoti, offering a streamlined experience while adhering to Texas's legal requirements.

Trusted Verification brings more customers

Complying with the new age verification laws by using tools like Yoti can provide significant advantages for website owners. While some may consider excluding users from Texas and other southern states to avoid compliance, adapting to these regulations can actually broaden your customer base. By ensuring legal access through age verification, website owners not only enhance their reputation as responsible and trustworthy but also attract users who value privacy and security. This commitment to compliance can set your platform apart, attracting a wider audience and potentially increasing user engagement and loyalty.
