FanCentro Implements Age Verification Tool for German Market

CYBERSPACE—Adult platform FanCentro announced Tuesday that it is leveraging age verification (AV) technology from Yoti, a fully certified age-verification solution, in order to comply with German Youth Protection laws. By implementing age verification, German users will have the ability to safely buy content from any model on FanCentro. According to German Youth Protection, anyone in Germany who purchases adult content must have their age verified beforehand. Under this law, German content creators can be held liable if they are caught selling content without the proper protection. Aside from legal proceedings, performers have been known to receive massive fines. The Yoti AV solution now implemented on FanCentro in Germany will protect all models on the platform by ensuring their fans are of legal age to purchase content before they do so. All German fans will be required to undergo age verification prior to purchasing adult content from any creator on the platform. "We are now the first non-German company to introduce a legally compliant solution for users and influencers based in Germany and thus also meet all the requirements of the German legislature for the protection of minors," FanCetro chief sales officer Nicholas Hörger explained. "We want our influencers to be able to operate without as much censorship as on other social media platforms. However, we want them to do so as safely as possible without taking risks. We look forward to welcoming new influencers who want to gain international attention without the legal and financial risk."
