Age Assurance: Rather than mandating a specific technology, the Rules establish a framework for evaluating whether age assurance methods are sufficiently accurate, reliable and privacy-protective. The Rules identify three categories of age assurance: (1) age estimation; (2) age inference; and (3) age verification. “Age estimation” is defined as using analysis of a physical or behavioral feature to draw a conclusion regarding an individual’s age or age status. “Age inference” is defined as using verified information other than age to draw a conclusion regarding an individual’s age or age status. “Age verification” is defined as using generally accepted identification, including government-provided identification, or validation against an official records source, to confirm an individual’s age or age status. Parental Consent: The Rules establish a multi-step consent process. First, the covered platform operator must provide the minor with notice that the operator cannot legally provide the minor an addictive feed without verifiable parental consent, and obtain valid consent from the minor to request verifiable parental consent for an addictive feed. Second, if the minor provides such consent, a covered platform operator must provide the parent with notice that the operator cannot legally provide the minor an addictive feed without verifiable parental consent and offer the parent access to a method of verifiable parental consent.
