A Government
backed interactive Age Check (iAC) scheme from photo ID company
Citizen Card is intended to help websites check the age and
identity of users surfing their sites.
The idea
is that anybody using an iAC accredited website, such as internet
chatroom Habbo.com, will need to provide their personal details,
which are then verified using information from the Citizen
Card databases.
If the
user is unknown or does not match those supplied by the website,
they’ll be denied access to pages. According to Citizen
Card, the scheme will cut down the number of youngsters visiting
adult websites and will make it harder for paedophiles to
find young victims in chat rooms.
