    I’m confused. Is every app in the UK requiring face scanning? I thought it was just adult content.

      According to the article :

      However, the platform does have certain features that are aimed at mature users.

      In Spotify’s case, you may be asked to verify your age if you try to “access some Spotify content and features, like Music videos that are labeled as 18+ by rightsholders”. This could also apply to podcasts that discuss mature content and songs with explicit lyrics.
