This marks the first time multiple major nations have simultaneously implemented mandatory digital identity verification for internet access. The unprecedented scope - 24 US states plus multiple countries - creates the first large-scale infrastructure requiring citizens to prove identity for basic online activities. This represents a crucial shift from optional to mandatory digital ID systems.
Global Digital ID Age Checks: 24 US States Launch Mark Control
📰 What Happened
A widespread implementation of mandatory online age verification is emerging globally, with 24 US states passing laws requiring proof of age for pornography access. Countries including Germany, France, Australia, and Ireland have implemented similar systems for various online content. The UK launched the most comprehensive national system in July 2025, requiring methods ranging from ID uploads to advanced biometric scans. The Age Verification Providers Association reports this marks the largest coordinated digital identity verification rollout to date.
📖 Prophetic Significance
The simultaneous deployment of mandatory age verification across multiple nations demonstrates how modern technology enables unprecedented population control. The requirement for biometric scans and ID uploads creates the technical foundation for Revelation's mark system - a mechanism to restrict access to services based on verified identity. The coordination across 24 US states plus multiple nations shows how quickly such systems can be implemented globally. This infrastructure, requiring citizens to prove identity for basic online access, provides the exact technological capability needed to eventually restrict buying and selling based on compliance with a central authority.
