'I did catch my son using an eyebrow pencil to draw a moustache on his face, and it verified him as 15 years old': New report details the effects of the Online Safety Act thus far

A new report from Internet Matters indicates that children are finding creative ways to bypass the UK's Online Safety Act age verification measures, with some using makeup to appear older. Despite these bypasses, a majority of children desire improved blocking and reporting systems. The report also highlights parental support for a potential ban on social media for under-16s, similar to Australia's recent legislation.
