   Grindr is rolling out age verification for UK users to comply with the Online Safety Act.

   The Act lets platforms choose the provider to do these checks and requires no certification for high privacy standards.

   Users deserve to have their data handled securely.

     As age verification providers are not regulated, users could face providing their sensitive data over and over across different platforms.

     This means ID documents could be sent off to other countries and some sites will pick providers with poor privacy terms and conditions.

     We must have a choice!
