How will the platforms verify users’ age?

The burden is on the respective tech companies to deactivate younger users by utilizing an array of age estimation and verification technologies at their disposal, in addition to the user’s self-reported age. Regulators have said the companies may rely on factors like how long the account has been active; whether it interacts with other underage users; facial or voice analysis; or activity patterns consistent with school hours. Phones are already banned in all Australian schools.

The law specifies that the platforms cannot require users to provide government identification as the only option to verify their age, a response to privacy concerns.
