Philippines and Thailand mull ID verification for social media accounts

2026-01-26  Per Henrikson

If implemented, all social media platforms operating in the Philippines will be required to introduce a Mandatory Account Verification System at no cost to account users and link all profiles to a verified legal identity. The verification system would rely on SIM numbers – Filipinos are already required to register their SIM cards by presenting photo IDs.
