Linden Lab®, the developer of the 3D virtual world Second Life®,
today unveiled a new Identity Verification (IDV) system for its
Residents. The voluntary system will provide an additional layer of
trust for Residents and businesses, giving them new tools to determine
how they interact with the Second Life community and how the content
they create is accessed.
The introduction of IDV will also help ensure that minors do not gain
access to restricted content within Second Life, which is intended for
users aged 18 or over. Access to Second Life content flagged as
‘Restricted’ will be available only to those whose age has been
verified as being over 18.
Verification technology and data services provider, Aristotle, will
provide its widely used Integrity Identity verification technology,
which launches in Linden Lab’s beta today, before a full rollout to all
Second Life Residents.
