The funniest part of Spotify deactivating accounts that don’t complete the age verification process is that it only affects Spotify the most in the end ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Screenshot of an ITV article (itv.com): “Spotify has warned that users’ accounts may be deleted if they fail to pass new age verification checks.&10;&10;The music streaming app has begun asking its users to verify if they are aged over 18 by using facial age estimations and ID verification.&10;&10;On its website, it reads: "You cannot use Spotify if you don’t meet the minimum age requirements for the market you’re in.&10;&10;"If you cannot confirm you’re old enough to use Spotify, your account will be deactivated and eventually deleted."&10;&10;This has sent many on social media into a flurry, with one user saying, "the fact that you need to verify your age or have your account deleted really shows what's wrong with the world right now".&10;&10;The Open Rights Group, which campaigns for digital freedoms, said: "Bad law makes for bad, incoherent outcomes."&10;&10;“
