This panel examines the realities of identity verification at scale - where compliance, privacy, and user experience challenges collide. Senior leaders will share how they’re navigating their regulatory requirements, while building tailored verification models that reflect the distinct risks and needs of different platforms and use cases. Moving beyond binary age thresholds to nuanced, context-driven verification approaches

• Building adaptable verification pathways that serve distinct use cases (social, commerce, content) without duplicating risk
• Navigating global regulatory landscapes and anticipating the direction of travel
• Reconciling identification verification with GDPR and minimisation principles - limiting data exposure and processing
• Exploring new identity models that could redefine the balance between compliance and usability

• Designing safety policies to anticipate emerging harms and adapt to new technologies
• Balancing global consistency with the flexibility to address cultural and regional differences
• Building feedback loops between enforcement, research, and policy teams to keep policies relevant
• Ensuring policies can withstand regulatory scrutiny while remaining practical to implement at scale
• Embedding resilience through regular reviews, transparent reporting, and cross-industry collaboration
