"The eSafety commissioner revealed that more than two-thirds of teens were still on the platforms included in the ban, indicating a significant gap in enforcement and compliance."
"Facial age estimation technology is known to have higher error rates for children near the age threshold of 16 years, which undermines the effectiveness of the age verification process."
"Many parents whose children remained on social media reported that platforms had not asked for age verification, raising concerns about the accountability of these platforms."
The age assurance technology trial indicated that age verification could be effective, but recent findings show that over two-thirds of teens still access banned platforms. Many children easily bypass facial recognition technology, and half of the platforms are under review for non-compliance. A significant number of parents reported that platforms did not enforce age verification, and complaints about inaction on reported accounts were common. The accuracy of facial age estimation is lower for those aged 14 and 15, raising concerns about the effectiveness of the ban.
