Lack of online age verification sparks concern

Politicians in Jersey are concerned about the lack of age verification on adult sites following a review that found children were at risk due to inadequate protections. While the UK implemented age verification for porn sites to safeguard minors, Jersey has not established similar measures, potentially enabling easier access to inappropriate content. Economic Development Minister Kirsten Morel mentioned drafting legislation to remove harmful content, emphasizing the importance of online safety for all ages.
