Will Steam soon add ID age verification?

Ursprungligen skrivet av steven1mac:
Eventually I would expect it to, not so much because of the UK, but similar laws are being introduced in most Western countries. Steam can ignore a few countries, but if the States make a similar law, Steam will be forced to act.

Those in the EU will at least be saved from having to provide copies of their government-issued IDs.

The government issued ID is classified as special sensitive personal data under the GDPR, that you're not allowed to process except for a few special exemptions. The only exemption which could apply is one that allows such sensitive personal data to be processed where it serves an important public interest based in law and is considered proportionate to the aim pursued.

This however isn't the case- as the demand for age verification in the EU flow from the Digital Services Act, Article 28. Paragraph 1 of that article establishes the responsibility of online platforms to take reasonable action to shield minors from harmful content on their platform, but paragraph 3 explicitly states platforms cannot be legally obliged to use a means of age verification to fulfill their duties under the first paragraph when that method requires them to collect additional personal data from their users.

This means the law itself considers collecting any additional personal data for age verification non-essential and disproportionate.

This also compounds with the fact that government issued IDs have something of a super-special status in the GDPR, where EU member states are allowed to individually retain additional laws governing which entities may process the IDs. And many member states do just that, and retain laws that basically don't allow the private sector to process them - period. Except for a few very narrow-band and well-defined exceptions; such as payroll, healthcare, financial, and insurance.


In short - being required to upload copies of your ID isn't happening in the EU, ever.
Everything is legally far too tied up and bolted shut to allow for it there.
