The CNMC, as the competent authority, is responsible for assessing whether the age verification systems used by video platforms in Spain effectively prevent minors under the age of 18 from accessing harmful content such as pornography and gratuitous violence. The public consultation aims to gather comments and input from stakeholders on the applicable criteria for ensuring the suitability of these age verification systems. The consultation covers topics such as the scope of the access prohibition, minimum elements for verifying age, technological solutions for age verification, third-party verification options, additional technical aspects, and co-regulation initiatives. This consultation is part of national efforts to protect minors, and the CNMC is actively collaborating with the Spanish Data Protection Agency. The European Commission has also included several adult content platforms in the list of major internet platforms subject to specific obligations under the Digital Services Regulation.
