Joe, both of these look like great services. I agree there's a market for age verification - several companies in the States, including Privo.com, are focused on this.

https://www.trustfabric.com/connect/child-protect/

We're planning to launch it towards the end of the week. Busy talking to a
fairly big social network about using the service.
