Kik age verification
Notifications OFF
I am pleased to see that Kik has now introduced age verification for new UK users, although not for those already on it.
They also raised their age limit. It was for 13 and over, now it is 18 and over. Not sure how the age verification works yet, but this can only be a good thing.

What age verification do they ask for?
tbh I'd prefer if they shut the whole site down. Age verification can be fooled-you just change your DOB. Until they've got better monitoring and reporting and come down hard on iioc and similar content id avoid like the plague same with Omegle and telegram, and plonk Snapchat on the list whilst we're at it.

I completely agree. Steer well clear. Surely any age verification can be abused online.

I am not recommending that anyone uses kik. This is about how we deter more young men from accessing porn in future.
In fact kik was already doing a lot to identify and report iioc on its platforms. That is why so many men got caught!
The old age verification, where you can just make up a DOB is gone. They are now using something called VerifyMe, which has different levels of identity verification.
I am trying to figure out how it works, but it appears that they will ask the persons name and that is important.
Previously, you could create a kik account without even a phone number or an email address. That made people think it was a safe place to share porn anonymously. Of course they were wrong, because kik could still trace their ip address.
But it was this illusion of anonymity that made kik the most popular app for porn sharing and that has now changed.
