In 2024, the Spanish National Commission of Markets and Competition (CNMC) opened a public consultation inviting public opinion on whether the age verification systems used by video platforms in Spain effectively prevent minors under the age of 18 from accessing harmful content such as pornography and gratuitous violence. The public consultation aims to gather comments and input from stakeholders on the applicable criteria for ensuring the suitability of these age verification systems. The consultation covers topics such as the scope of the access prohibition, minimum elements for verifying age, technological solutions for age verification, third-party verification options, additional technical aspects, and co-regulation initiatives. A report of the consultation was published in April 2024.
