Report Remove - one year on
We’re immensely proud to be working with Childline and the Internet Watch Foundation (IWF) as part of our ongoing commitment to child protection. It’s been just over a year since we officially launched Report Remove, a tool to help young people report explicit images of themselves on the internet. To use the tool, a young person needs to prove they are under 18. Yoti gives a young person a private and safe way to prove their age, without needing to show ID documents or share personal data.

Play Verto research: young people’s attitudes towards facial age estimation
We joined forces with the team at Play Verto for an exciting piece of research to understand what young people thought about facial age estimation technology.

But have you ever stopped and thought about the consequences of losing your passport? Lost and stolen passports When you’re taking your passport out of home it can easily be lost or stolen in transit.

The future of Digital ID: What it means for you

Proving who we are online or in-person should be easy, but it’s still not the case for over one billion people worldwide who lack a legally recognised form of identification. A further 6.6 billion people have some form of identification, but can’t use it and are left out of today’s digital ecosystems. As a result, many are prevented from accessing the most basic services.
