Spotify makes facial scans mandatory for access to explicit content in the UK

Audio streaming platform Spotify has introduced new requirements to confirm the age of its users in the UK, requiring facial scans for those accessing explicit content.

This streaming platform implements this facial scanning process by partnering with Yoti, a platform that utilizes AI to verify the age of its service users.

Engadget reported on Thursday (31/7) local time that Spotify users in the UK may be asked to carry out age checks, especially for age-restricted content.
