Why is online age verification crucial? Why does it need to be mandatory for certain web content, as already proposed in the Canadian Senate and House of Commons? Is it technologically viable?

Join us for this panel discussion, moderated by doctoral candidate Azfar Adib, to know more, as we engage in a conversation with the lawmakers, social activists, and engineering researchers leading this arena. Panelists Senator Julie Miville Dechêne, MP Arnold Viersen, Nima Karimian, PhD, and Penny Rankin will discuss the need for mandatory age verification, particularly to safeguard kids from online harm, along with its technological feasibility.
