If you have a technology solution that can be used to address child Internet safety you should check out the call for review entries the Berkman Center announced last week to present to the Technical Advisory Board Committee, which is a sub-committee of the Internet Safety Technical Task Force. The Technical Advisory Board members are going to evaluate technologies and the ways they address issues children face on social networks such as sexual predators, cyber-bullying, inappropriate content access, and more.

The only answer to the problem raised in this article is by using online age verification systems such as the biometric age verification online, in real-time, provided by VerificAge (www.verificage.com):
- It establishes full segregation between adults and children online
- Does not use any kind of data base. Eliminating risks involved in storing and maintaining data.
- It does not identify the user personally but rather his/her age group category; therefore, the user’s privacy cannot be jeopardized.
- The system is based on a “one time” biometric measurement that can distinguish a child from an adult with a very high accuracy rate.
- It can assert a user’s age every time he wishes to access a website, content, or while interacting with others
It seems that VerificAge’s solution is going to change the surfing culture on the Net and increase dramatically children’s safety online.
Odedy – Verific Age did present at the Technical task force public meeting and it looked pretty cool. The concerns raised from the audience at the time were that it is a piece of hardware so distribution on a massive scale is difficult as well as expensive. And also how would it solve the predator issue if the predator has access to a child already?
