A public record of age-verification and age-gating law
AgeGating is the age-verification and age-gating law member of the UnGovr Monitors family. It records where a person must prove their age, what the law requires them to show, and what each law's status is: proposed, enacted, in force, enjoined, struck down, repealed, or superseded, plus the litigation history behind each contested law.
It is an observatory, not a campaign, and the party under assessment is the government: what each law makes people prove, what it lets anyone collect or keep, and what protections it gives the person being checked. Platforms and verification vendors appear in the record as facts of how a law operates, never as its graded subjects. Readers draw their own conclusions.
Four families of law
- Adult content
- What must a person show before viewing adult content, and what happens to that proof?
- Social media
- What may a minor do on social platforms, and whose consent does the law require?
- App stores and devices
- When is age proven once, at the app store or device, instead of at every service?
- Design codes
- How must a service change once the law treats its user as a minor?
