🚨 The Internet is Changing Fast — Is Your App Ready?

Meet Changefly ID — your plug-and-play solution for fast, secure, anonymous age verification.
🌍 Why Now Is the Moment for Anonymous Age Verification
1. Global Regulation Is Here—and It’s Only Expanding
Whether you’re building a crypto wallet, a gaming platform, an 18+ content site, or a social app—you’re likely already on the radar of new age-related laws.
📈 Let’s look at the stats:
- 23 U.S. states now enforce some form of age-verification law (as of September 2025)—with more coming TechCrunch.
- Texas Supreme Court just upheld the legality of mandatory age checks for adult content platforms IDScan.net.
- In the UK, daily age checks on adult content have spiked to 5 million+ after the Online Safety Act went into effect, slashing traffic to sites like Pornhub (–47%), XVideos (–47%), and xHamster (–39%) Financial Times.
- Australia will roll out mandatory age assurance systems in March 2026 for adult content, with severe penalties for non-compliance News.com.au.
- Malaysia’s government is now urging social platforms like TikTok to roll out age verification to reduce minors’ exposure to harmful content Reuters.
Bottom line: Whether you operate locally or globally, regulation is catching up. You need a solution now—before fines, blocks, or lawsuits arrive.
2. Users Want Privacy. Platforms Must Offer Compliance. You Need Both.
Today’s users are hyper-aware of how their data is used—and less willing than ever to hand it over.
- The UK’s Online Safety Act has led to widespread VPN use, as users seek anonymity while platforms are forced to verify age.
- Retailers like John Lewis in the UK are using AI-based facial age estimation—a growing signal that non-intrusive compliance is going mainstream Wikipedia.
- Privacy-first technologies like zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs) are gaining traction for verifying age without exposing identity or personal data StateScoop, New America.
Changefly ID is built with these trends in mind. You get both:
- Full user anonymity

3. The Developer’s Dilemma: Fast, Secure, and Compliant
Here’s where things get messy.
A recent arXiv study showed:
79% of developers failed to implement GDPR-compliant logic in age verification tasks.
Why? Because:
- Legal compliance is complex
- Privacy tech is hard to build
- Traditional methods (emails, OTPs, cookies) are outdated and risky
That’s why Changefly ID was designed by developers, for developers—to eliminate this stress entirely.
