New Research Lightning Talk: Empirical Study of Adults’ Willingness to Age Verify
User (Non-)Compliance with Age Verification: Evidence from a Deceptive Web Experiment
Twenty-five U.S. states have laws requiring some websites to perform “strong” age verification to ensure that visitors to sites containing “material harmful to minors” are over age, and more states are considering similar laws. Under these laws, self-attesting one’s age by checking a box is insufficient. Users must verify their age by using IDs, AI facial analysis, or other “commercially reasonable” options. However, users may find these approaches to age verification privacy-invasive, insecure, or inconvenient, and some users may even turn away from a website entirely if prompted with one of these methods. Our team at Carnegie Mellon University ran a 1,635-participant experiment to determine what users do when they encounter various age verification options, and followed up with a survey to probe their reasoning. We’ll talk about our study methods, our findings, and what policy makers and organizations that are required to age verify can learn from our results.
