Digital Identity Friday Five: September 20, 2024
Covering the most interesting news for the week of September 14 to September 20
Today is Friday, September 20. Here are five things in #digitalidentity that I found interesting this week
1/ Marketplace Risk Presents Inaugural New York City Conference
PEAK IDV was in #NYC this week at Marketplace Risk’s New York Conference
300+ attendees from top #marketplaces and #digitalplatforms convened at Convene for knowledge sharing & networking
Congrats to Jeremy H. Gottschalk, Max Pinnau and the entire team for hosting another amazing event

2/ Instagram Introduces Teen Accounts
Meta launched new features for parents to manage their teenagers’ Instagram accounts
They noted:
"Teens may lie about their age and that’s why we’re requiring them to verify their age in more places, like if they attempt to use a new account with an adult birthday."

3/ Uber Rolls Out Verified Rider Badge in US
This week, Uber announced the launch of #riderverification
"All riders will have their account information checked against trusted third-party databases or have the option to upload an ID. Once verified, they will receive a "Verified" badge."
Passive verification is powered by Prove's Verified Users platform
