Brazil considers age checks for app stores and digital platforms
Brazil’s federal government is considering a decree that would require app stores and digital platforms to introduce age-verification measures for restricted online content, including betting, reportedly based on a draft under discussion. The proposal would bar reliance solely on self-declared ages and prohibit tracking users’ identities, browsing histories or verification records; the government was reportedly aiming to issue the decree by the end of February, but discussions continued and the text was not final.
The proposed requirements could affect how betting content is accessed by minors and how platforms verify users’ ages.
