Minor on Phone

Global identity verification firm Trulioo is providing age verification solutions in Germany to verify users trying to gain access to restricted content, according to a press release on Tuesday (Nov. 23).

Germany’s Kommission für Jugendmedienschutz (KJM) — the Commission for the Protection of Minors in the Media — assessed Trulioo’s identity verification solution and determined that it met the directives of the Interstate Treaty on the Protection of Minors in the Media (JMStV).

With verification checks in place, it’s harder for children to gain entry to age-restricted content in telemedia, the release noted.
