Portugal has adopted the rules from Article 28b (1) of the Audiovisual Media Services Directive (AVMSD) to protect minors from harmful content. This means adult websites must ensure that users are at least 18 years old before accessing explicit material.
Requirements for age verification in Portugal:
Verify user age: Ensure users are 18 or older before accessing adult content.
Implement effective measures: Use reliable methods to confirm user age, such as credit card verification or biometric methods like facial age estimation.
Protect minors: Take steps to ensure that individuals under 18 cannot view adult content.
