Spotify has threatened to delete people’s accounts if they fail new age verification checks. Spotify is just the latest digital giant to introduce age checks in an attempt to block children from accessing adult content. It comes in the wake of new rules brought in under the Online Safety Act, Britain’s flagship tech law. The arrival of online safety age checks last week has prompted a backlash against Britain’s digital rules. A petition calling for a repeal of the Online Safety Act, which was passed under the last Conservative government, reached 420,000 signatures.
