![An email from Twitch which reads:
"Hello [BLANK],
As a UK-based Twitch user, we want to inform you of changes coming to Twitch in order to comply with the UK’s Online Safety Act. Starting today, we are introducing mandatory age verification for users in the UK who want to watch certain types of content on Twitch that may not be suitable for everyone. This change helps ensure that we provide a safe, age-appropriate experience for UK users between the ages of 13 (the minimum age required to use Twitch) and 18.
What this may mean for you:
You will need to verify that you are 18 years or older in order to watch content on Twitch with certain Content Classification Labels (CCLs). Soon, you’ll also need to verify your age prior to streaming content with certain CCLs.
When attempting to view this content starting today, you will be shown a prompt to verify your age through a quick facial scan.
This is a one-time process and once completed, you won’t need to verify your age again on Twitch.
Your privacy is incredibly important to us. Neither Twitch nor our third-party vendor, k-ID, store data from facial scans. Your video selfie is used solely for age verification purposes and never leaves your device.
To learn more about this process, including which content requires age verification to view, and how the facial scan works, you can check out our help article.
We recognize that this is an additional step in your viewing experience, and we appreciate your understanding as we work to ensure compliance with laws in your region."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2zbmkehwrjlskvle6jnebdpe/bafkreidk5ojaxs7cycvytwifo5f6y6ka5n5gj3dbmgfwpuri4ntwwyvamq)
