Research Shows that Age Assurance Needs Clarity and Improvement

FOSI

The Family Online Safety Institute ( FOSI ) today released a new report, Making Sense of Age Assurance: Enabling Safer Online Experiences, which explores awareness and attitudes toward age assurance among parents and children in the United States, United Kingdom, and France. Age assurance ensures that users who do not meet age minimums cannot access online platforms, or must stay in age-appropriate environments. This new report found that age assurance methods are received with mixed perceptions, with respondents showing an openness to future solutions but also highlighting the need for education and transparency upon implementation. Key findings from the report captured levels of awareness among parents and children, outlooks on the use of biometric data, and cultural contrasts in parenting style. “Age assurance has long been a challenging area for the technology industry, as certain methods may also require the collection of more user data,” said Stephen Balkam, FOSI CEO. “This year’s report shows a clear opportunity to improve methods of age assurance, which must begin by helping people to understand it. This means providing clarity around the purpose of assuring age, how the process works, and how they benefit.” “At Google, we are committed to creating age-appropriate experiences to help kids and teens use technology in a safer and more privacy-protective environment,” said Markham Erickson, Vice President, Government Affairs & Public Policy, Google. “This research highlights the complexities associated with establishing the age of users and the importance of including the perspectives of both parents and their children in the discussion. We are proud to partner with FOSI on this critical work and will continue to collaborate on how to help kids and teens enjoy the benefits that technology has to offer when it comes to learning, staying connected and having fun.” Parents and responsibility Despite growing concerns about younger children accessing platforms while underage, this study found that most parents (53% in the US, 57% in the UK, and 49% in France) are willing to make an exception or allow their child to bypass an age requirement, though they then often require direct oversight of the account or discussions about how to use an app safely. While the majority of parents (74% in the US, 80% in the UK, and 73% in France) see themselves as the primarily responsible party for ensuring that their children interact with age-appropriate content, more than half of parents in each country surveyed agree that industry and government should both be more involved in protecting children. Future solutions Despite hypotheses that the use of biometric components may cause concerns around data privacy, this report found that respondents are open to age assurance methods that include it. Over two-thirds of parents and children in the US and UK, and roughly half in France, indicate that they are open to age assurance methods that include a biometric component. Nearly two-thirds of parents across all three countries feel that biometrics are an effective tool for assessing age. If offered, parents report that their most ideal method for setting age assurance on apps and services would be on a per account basis, the point at which they are downloaded from an app store. Country differences The report also finds that different social and cultural factors impact parenting styles and child-parent relationships in each country. US parents reported the highest amount of time spent monitoring their children’s online usage at 11.8 hours per week, in contrast with UK parents at 7.6 hours per week, and French parents at 3.5 hours per week. French parents are also the least likely to use tech tools such as monitoring software or apps to oversee their children’s online activities. 87% of US parents and 82% of UK parents have used such tools, compared to 65% in France. This study was supported by Google, and conducted by Kantar. Topline findings will be presented at the FOSI 2022 Annual Conference, Trust and Assurance: Online Safety in an Uncertain World. Each year, FOSI convenes the premier event in online safety, bringing together leaders from across industry, government, academia, and the nonprofit sector. This year’s agenda includes topics such as content moderation, privacy policy, safety in the metaverse, digital wellbeing, and more. The conference will feature remarks by FTC Commissioner Alvaro Bedoya, as well as the launch of the Global Online Safety Regulators Network, a new initiative seeking to encourage a collaborative approach to legislation globally. About FOSI The Family Online Safety Institute is an international, non-profit organization that works to make the online world safer for kids and their families. FOSI convenes leaders in industry, government and the non-profit sectors to collaborate and innovate new solutions and policies in the field of online safety. Through research, resources, events and special projects, FOSI promotes a culture of responsibility online and encourages a sense of digital citizenship for all. FOSI's membership includes many of the leading Internet and telecommunications companies around the world.

The Market Votes: Amesite Releases Study of E-Learning Success For Global Company

Amesite Inc.

Learn More about Amesite Inc. by gaining access to the latest research report The results are in for a study on Amesite Inc.’s (NASDAQ: AMST) eLearning platform, and it looks like a resounding success. Amesite, which harnesses cutting-edge artificial intelligence (AI) to deliver customizable courses through its white-label platform, completed a case study in October on EWIE Group of Companies (EGC), a large company that used Amesite’s technology to upskill its global workforce. Companies everywhere are realizing the new challenges of training and upskilling their employees in a remote economy. But many are held back by old-fashioned learning systems that are no longer fit for that purpose. As companies look for modern online platforms, the corporate eLearning market has grown to $117 billion. EGC’s search for an eLearning solution led it to partner with Amesite for its integrated, easy-to-access learning platform. As a commodity-management services company, EGC sought a solution for both retaining and upskilling its employees. With the outcome of the collaboration published, Amesite feels like it’s gotten an A+ on a difficult test. Results Of Study May Indicate Strong Performance When EGC approached Amesite, it faced several challenges. It needed learning tools that ensured employee engagement across the company, but it struggled to surmount this problem without integration of its educational courses across its platforms. With nearly 1,000 employees at over 240 factories around the globe, EGC needed a scalable solution for upskilling their employees that would be accessible to all. Amesite provided a solution with its customized Learning Community Environment ® (LCE SM ), rolling out access to 53 courses for EGC employees in just four days. Before the end of the first quarter, employees were scoring 91% on the learned material that had a target pass score for passing of 70%. While Amesite operates in a similar space to Coursera Inc. (NYSE: COUR) and Powerschool Holdings Inc. (NYSE: PWSC), it sees its platform as a more thoroughly accessible option. Its white-label system is customizable for a company or educational institution’s specific needs, while its AI provides updated information for learners, within an infrastructure that is intuitive and easy to navigate. “Having people with the most advanced skills is a huge competitive advantage for us,” EWIE Group of Companies President Jay Mullick said. “Amesite is at the center of all our business process training at EGC. We have appreciated the support of their team throughout the relationship. Using Amesite’s global upskilling technology platform enables our people to gain the know-how to meet our most demanding customers’ needs quickly and efficiently.” To learn more about Amesite, visit its website.

US Navy Veteran Todd Harmon Talks Shop and Shares Growth Strategies for Minuteman Press Franchise in Cincinnati

Minuteman Press International Inc

US Navy Veteran Todd Harmon is no stranger to owning his own business. Prior to joining the Minuteman Press franchise family in April 2018, Todd had previously owned other small businesses and franchises. His Minuteman Press design, marketing, and printing center is located in the Kenwood area of Cincinnati, Ohio, at 7681 Montgomery Road. In this interview, Todd shares why he chose Minuteman Press, how his military and business experience has helped him in the printing industry, and how products such as signage and mailings with a heavy focus on Every Door Direct Mail have helped spur the growth of his printing business. What is your professional background? Todd Harmon: “I am a United States Navy Veteran. Prior to franchising, I owned an independent small business that manufactured new and refurbished pallets in the wood products industry. I have also previously owned two other franchises in the retail and restaurant industries. I chose Minuteman Press due to its #1 ranking in print franchising and the excellent work-life balance it would provide my family. Both of my children now work in the business with me. It also appealed to me as a privately owned company with a great royalty structure for franchisees.” What has the support from Minuteman Press International been like for you? Todd Harmon: “Local support from my field rep Ryan McIntyre and RVP Gary Nowak has been outstanding. They are a great resource when I need to discuss hiring/personnel and major business decisions. The FLEX software support team is always very responsive to our needs.” How do you describe your business and capabilities to potential clients? Todd Harmon: “I explain to clients that we are actually a print and small business marketing and consulting firm. Because of my previous business experience owning two other successful local franchises prior to Minuteman Press, I can really relate to these folks and help them reach their target customers through effective print and mail marketing strategies. Our customer service and fast turnaround times really set us apart from the competition.” What are the high-demand products and services that have really been helpful for your clients? Todd Harmon: “Signage, including installation if applicable, with fast turnaround times have really helped our clients. We can drop ship anywhere for them even on weekends. Quick design services for budget-conscious small businesses are much-appreciated by our customers. Our #1 key growth area is in direct mail services. We have also built a very strong Every Door Direct Mail (EDDM) business. We work with and educate our customers through every step of the EDDM process.” What are some of the key ways you’ve grown your business? Todd Harmon: “Our high level of customer service and fast turnaround times have led to many referrals. We have grown through participation in a local BNI networking group. I am committed to consistent SEO/SEM marketing, email blasts, direct mail, and always promoting our EDDM services at every opportunity.” How would you best describe your community? Todd Harmon: “We enjoy a very dense business community around our shop. There are offices, medical facilities, restaurants, and many non-profit firms in our local area, as well as schools and many large church organizations. All of our clients demand a high level of professional customer service that we strive every day to meet.” Why do you think printing remains so vital to businesses today? Todd Harmon: “Print is a more trustworthy advertising medium and can allow you to reach a more targeted audience. For instance, I believe an engaging, tangible EDDM mail piece with a strong offer will yield a higher ROI than other advertising mediums, especially for restaurants and home repair/service businesses.” What are the biggest rewards of owning your business? Todd Harmon: “Following my military service, I have always owned my own business. I get great satisfaction from operating a profitable customer service focused small business. I enjoy the challenge.” What advice would you give to other owners right now? Todd Harmon: “Minuteman Press gives you the freedom to make the print shop your own, allowing you to focus on your strengths. Embrace it and have fun. Also, h ire staff that will help you build a culture of customer service in your shop. ” Todd Harmon’s Minuteman Press franchise is located at 7681 Montgomery Road, Cincinnati, OH 45236.
