In Estonia, there is currently no specific legislation mandating age verification for adult websites. However, discussions are ongoing about implementing stricter measures to prevent minors from accessing explicit content. For instance, the Conservative People's Party of Estonia (EKRE) has proposed initiatives to restrict young people's access to pornographic material.
Proposed requirements:
While not yet enacted, the proposed measures may include:
Mandatory age verification: Websites hosting adult content could be required to implement systems to verify users are at least 18 years old.
Biometric methods: Utilizing biometric facial age estimation to confirm users' ages.
Data protection compliance: Ensuring that any age verification processes adhere to data protection regulations, such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
