Age-verification laws have been enacted around the world, and much like in this instance, VPN services have been used to circumvent them. While we at vpnMentor encourage children's online safety, this practice raises critical questions regarding the efficiency of these laws and the risks associated with both complying with and circumventing it.

There are many risks associated with providing your PII to a third-party age-verification software such as Persona or Yoti, which are the ones used by Reddit, Instagram, and OnlyFans to comply with this law.
