FanCentro Implements Yoti AV System to Comply With German Law

BERLIN — FanCentro has announced it has implemented age verification (AV) technology from Yoti in Germany in order to comply with local laws.

“By implementing age verification, German users will have the ability to safely buy content from any influencer on FanCentro,” said a rep.

According to legislation from the government titled “German Youth Protection,” anyone in Germany who purchases adult content must have their age verified beforehand. Under this law, German content producers can be held liable if they are caught selling sexually explicit material without the proper protection.

“Aside from legal proceedings, performers have been known to receive massive fines,” the rep added.

The Yoti AV solution now implemented on FanCentro for German users will protect all influencers by ensuring their fans are of legal age to purchase content.

Chief Sales Officer Nicholas Hörger explained FanCentro is “the first non-German company to introduce a legally compliant solution for users and influencers based in Germany and thus also meet all the requirements of the German legislature for the protection of minors."

“We want our influencers to be able to operate without as much censorship as on other social media platforms,” Hörger added. “However, we want them to do so as safely as possible without taking risks. We look forward to welcoming new influencers who want to gain international attention without the legal and financial risk."
