Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg says age verification not its responsibility, ‘points finger’ at Apple and Google
Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta, appeared before the US Senate for an online safety hearing. Zuckerberg argued that app store providers, like Apple and Google, should be responsible for managing parental consent systems. He specifically targeted Apple's payments feature that requires parental approval. Zuckerberg suggested that if Apple can be the payment processor for all iOS apps, it can also provide parental consent. Meta has previously floated this idea and believes that if parents give consent and verify their child's age, it will eliminate the need for multiple age verifications across apps.
