Media and Communications Authority set to impose checks on Italian gambling content

To guarantee the adulthood of Italian audiences, the Media and Communications Authority of Italy has approved a "technical measure" that requires "mandatory age verification."

Italian media were notified by the agency of its new technical framework, which requires them to take steps to confirm the age of viewers of adult content.

Italian media will have to implement an age-verification check before users can view gambling, pornographic, and adult-specific social media content, according to new regulations proposed by the Media and Communications Authority of Italy.
