Accredited Age Verification System For Content Providers
The BBFC launched BBFC.online in May 2008 to give consumers the assurance they seek when choosing new media content. The scheme means the BBFC’s famous ‘black cards’, category symbols and consumer advice will now appear on a wide range of ‘new media’ content.
Demonstrate Your Commitment to Consumer Protection
BBFC.online was developed after independent research showed that 74 per cent of parents were concerned about downloading video material which does not come with independent content advice and labelling.
Content providers and aggregators who join the scheme will benefit by demonstrating their commitment to continuing consumer information and child protection.
