| 31. | Before deciding whether to put in place any access restrictions based on age, supported by age assurance methods, providers of online platforms accessible to minors should always conduct an assessment to determine whether such a measure is appropriate to ensure a high level of privacy, safety and security for minors on their service and whether it is proportionate, or whether such a high level may be achieved already by relying on other less far-reaching measures (34). In this regard, the Commission is of the view that providers should consider access restrictions based on age, supported by age assurance measures as a complementary tool to measures set out in other sections of these guidelines. In other words, access restrictions and age assurance alone cannot be substitutes for measures recommended elsewhere in these guidelines.
