‘Age assurance’ is a backdoor for digital ID, internet passports & biometric surveillance to end online anonymity for all users: perspective
Leaders of the G7 call on big tech companies to develop and deploy internet passports for all users through “effective and innovative age assurance mechanisms.”
On Wednesday, the Group of Seven (G7) leaders from Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the UK, and the US, the non-enumerated member and the European Union, in collaboration with their partner countries Brazil, Egypt, India, Kenya and the Republic of Korea, published their “Leaders’ Call on a Safer Digital Space for Minors,” in which they committed to provide what they considered to be “a safe digital space for our minors, which include children and youth under 18.”
However, when it comes to so-called “age assurance” mechanisms, they are nothing more than a backdoor to digital ID and internet passports for every single online user, no matter their age.

There is no mention of “social media” anywhere in the G7 leaders’ call — this “age assurance” is meant for all “digital spaces” and is applicable to everyone of all ages.
“We call on digital service providers to develop and apply technology and systems that ensure safe, secure and age-appropriate experiences including through effective and innovative age assurance mechanisms while preserving the privacy of users according to respective jurisdictions, national circumstances and applicable legal frameworks”G7, Leaders’ call on a safer digital space for minors, June 2026
According to the European Commission, “Age assurance refers to the methods used to determine an individual’s age with different levels of confidence or certainty. They can be grouped into three main categories: age estimation, age verification, and self-declaration.”
Self-declaration is just you clicking a button to say you are of a certain age, but governments and globalists don’t want this.
They prefer age estimation and age verification.
Age estimation is obtained through various means such as biometrics like taking a selfie, through natural language processing where your text and speech is analyzed, or through behavioral profiling that tracks your online activity, including your browser history.
