Reddit to Implement Age Verification for EU Users Under Digital Services Act

Reddit has announced plans to add age‑verification checks for users in the European Union. The move is aimed at meeting obligations set out by the Digital Services Act. The DSA requires online platforms to confirm users are of legal age for certain content. Reddit’s new system will prompt users to provide age‑related information before accessing the site. The company says the feature will be rolled out in stages across EU member states. Existing accounts may be asked to verify their age during the transition period. Compliance with the DSA is intended to avoid potential fines and regulatory action. Reddit will monitor feedback and adjust the process as needed.
