I cant wait i just hope its not a year before this come's out

Finally. Would make it much easier instead of submitting a photo of my ID for every new club I want to visit. (which I don't do much though...)

Finally might feel comfy chilling again. Even when Getting on at odd hours of the night I'd run into just an absurd amount of obvious children.

Love to see it

Beyond Stupid

Persona is literally the company used to age verify roblox that let thousands of kids use fake IDs and photos. Also the company who sold data from minors who played roblox. This is not to protect children, just like the EAC update this is only to protect VRChat's liability.

This is so fucking huge

You can get (prepaid) credit card as a minor and pay for services like vrc+.

Nope. I've had a Visa card since I was 16 (and used it to bypass some age checks back in the day, lul), and it's even easier now that you can get prepaid "gift" cards at many places

Oh massive W here. Finally.

overdue

this is going to put all of the amateur bouncers asking "are you 18" at the VRChat clubs out of a job

YES

An actually good update?

Fr, this might actually be great- too many iPad kids on here, it’s not safe for them..

Isn't Persona based in the US? (San Francisco)

Took em long enough, but progress is progress. Looking forward to 18+ instances so I dont have to deal with constanant screaming kids. Also very much looking forward to content gating actually working.

How will alt accounts be handled? I'm not out to everyone irl so i have an alt that i use to interact with them

Pog

This is great. Whatever cost is involved - I am willing to pay the costs for the verification as VRC itself is free. Thank you for offering this - and also using a service which is doing a proper check and not just an "I'm over 18" checkmark.

Finally.

There is a god

This will filter a lot but there will still be a small portion of people using fake IDs, but for what it is it mitigates a good bit. o7

IT eng, no chance of being mistaken for a minor, though not quite AARP eligible yet despite all their attempts to sign me up... I will not be showing my ID to a rando third party.

Fantastic idea

When di we get the Age Verification ? Also can i do that one the VRC Homepage ?

this is good this is like prayers being answered

LETS GO!

Biggest collab of the year

I have to ask: since the form mentions something like, 'How many age-verified instances do you plan to open by January 2025?' does that imply we should expect initial rollouts to occur between now and then?

Oh thank god

hey keep it down man!

Better help check age keep ID

Thank you VRC for doing this for us. This is gonna be a huge step in making sure the community stays safe at large.

Thank God.

Oh and the Persona privacy policy gives data deletion rights based on jurisdiction. GDPR rights apply to the EU, UK, and Switzerland. Americans aren't guaranteed these rights unless covered by laws like CCPA. Outside those, deletion depends on Persona's discretion.

You know how identity theft can completely ruin your life, right? And while it is opt-out on VRC's side, you can already bet on many clubs and social groups requiring this, making doing this a necessity to hang out with the groups and places you love. Oh but I'm just complaining, don't mind me.

tbh all i care about is this filtering kids out of our lobbies, all i really care about at the end of the day

there being plenty of client users remaining, i believe theres plenty of reason to be skeptical. i give it 2 months.

Finally and nice! happy to see that finally be close to being implemented~

Sounds great :P Hopefully people don't figure out a way to cheese it somehow. Also i'd like to just have a verified over 18 thing without people in game constantly asking me tons of personal identifying info at club worlds and stuff ;p

As it should be❤️‍🔥

Oh!!! Ok I can get behind this. Def helps keep both minors and adults safe.

Yet you’d trust a literal no face random guy in a discord that tells you to send them your ID?

Finally, no more 12 year olds calling me the N word and telling me to kill myself

took long enough...

W

astronomically based

Well done.

Best update in years

good to see this change being made after so long!

This is going to be super helpful!

I am a 71 year old VRchat user, and I object to 'Age Verification'; it is the slippery road into authoritarianism, so precedent in virtually all social media sites. While it is annoying to have a ten year old come blasting through gibbering away, we already have tools for that: You can block them.

If we get verified through Persona, can we then request our information to be deleted and remain verified?

Huge HUGE

Finally! Took you long enough

It's deleted after 90 days

Love this

Very much looking forward to no longer having to go to the Pug or H party just in ensure I’m not in worlds with kids. I really would love to go to some of the more popular worlds without having to deal with issues that come along with that.

Why dont i get notifications from posts like this even tho im following?

Looking forward to my response :)

BEST ANNOUNCEMT OF THE YEAR!

This is great!! Being able to limit kids from joining some instances/groups is the best thing we can have in this situation. I'm really curious to see how things will go from here

And what exactly is the solution then to that?

If their mother lets their child use their ID, that’s not VRCs fault, that’s on the parents.

It gives the pedo plausible deniability

What if I don't do age verification?

This is excellent. Someworld owners try to ask for IDs and that's a huge deal breaker for just a VRC group.. This should hopefully make things better.

F I N A L L Y

It's a good thing for VRChat. But i would have liked other ways to verify age too. Like paying VRC+ with debit cards that can also verify the age via IBAN. No to happy that the only option is a US company, which means if the US wants they do have access to the data, even in a seperate EU Datacentre.

WOOOOOO

Huge big brain move and a right step. I would also love my VRC+ as part of the verification process since I already pay for it. Or a one time fee collected to verify my age. I would be more than happy to pay once.

Massive W

Can we have a safety setting based on the age verification? I don't want to see underage users at all and I don't want them to see me.

Let’s hope kids don’t just steal whatever ids they need for it

Finally I can yeet them kids out of my life. 💯
