Ofcom outlines age check methods ahead of social media ban for under-16s

Ofcom has outlined age check methods ahead of a social media ban for under-16s, as reported by the BBC. The move is aimed at protecting young users from online harm and ensuring that social media platforms comply with age verification requirements.

This development matters for social commerce as it may impact the way social media platforms are used for marketing and advertising to younger audiences. With stricter age verification measures in place, businesses may need to adapt their social commerce strategies to ensure compliance and effectively reach their target audiences.
