Reddit Requires Age Verification for All EU Users

Reddit announced a new policy requiring age verification for every user in the European Union. The change applies to both new registrations and existing accounts. Users will encounter a prompt asking them to confirm their age before accessing the site. The move follows increased regulatory scrutiny over online safety. Reddit’s compliance team says the verification aims to protect minors. Critics argue the process could raise privacy concerns. The platform plans to implement the system across EU regions in the coming weeks. Observers will watch for user feedback and any impact on site traffic.
