For users aged 13-17, no specific federal U.S. law requires age verification, but state laws including California's Age-Appropriate Design Code Act (AB 2273, effective 2024) impose obligations on services likely to be accessed by minors under 18. UK Age Appropriate Design Code (AADC, Children's Code) applies to services likely accessed by under-18s. EU Regulation on a single market for digital services (DSA, Regulation (EU) 2022/2065) includes provisions on protections for minors.
