Q1 2025: We are delighted to share some details regarding technical standards. We are working with OpenID Foundation to develop a technical standard for verifying parental responsibility online, crucial for age-gating and parental consent required by regulations for banks, fintechs, and digital platforms. This standard, complementing ISO 27566, aims to solve legal guardianship verification. To ensure inclusivity, a parallel policy framework, “Inclusive Digital Parenting: Delegated Authority for All Children including Alternative Care Settings,” is being developed with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees and other stakeholders to support children in alternative care and those acting in loco parentis, enabling them to oversee children’s online activities and access recourse options under laws like the European Digital Services Act (Article 21) for harmful content. Given the Inspired Internet Pledge’s focus on digital wellbeing, both the technical standard and policy framework are relevant to limiting children’s exposure to harmful content (e.g., promoting eating disorders, self-harm) and empowering verified guardians to seek redress, making involvement in this collaborative effort valuable.
