Group Members International (GMI) is on the cutting edge in recognizing the need forand implementation of the Age and Identity verification technology. GMI recognized that the technology is both available andfinancially feasible. It is seamless to the users and meets all the required privacy regulations. No personal information is collectedduring the verification process stated John Monteleone,CEO of GMI.
Following the Blumenthal model, GMI created the 21 years of age and older websitehttp://www.GrownUpsOnl ine.com and implemented the Age and Identity Verification inthe 4th quarter of 2006 when it finalized development of its social networkplatform. This thereby avoids the mix of children and grownups that has plagued the other social networks. Monteleone alsostated “we don't mix children and grownups on a peer level socially off line due to the difference in maturity and interests, so why aresome of us mixing children and adults online on the same peer level. Separation of children from grownups is the solution and Age andIdentity Verification is the process that the attorney generals are supporting”.
Social networking website members are also concerned about user privacy violations.The possible privacy violation issues are repeatedly being used as a reason for social networks to not use the Age and IdentityVerification system. Monteleone said that this is not the case with the system chosen by GMI for GrownUpsOnline.com. Age and Identity Verificationaddresses both social responsibility and privacy compliance issues. Stated on the GrownUpsOnline.com registration page, therequirements are clearly stated in the following laws and regulations; SSN ActCompliant, SSNPA Compliant, Customer Privacy Act Compliant, DPPA Compliant, FCRACompliant, Graham Leach-Bliley Act Compliant, COPA Compliant, and COPPA Compliant.
The GMI social networking platform can be used for any type of social network,including Corporations, Organizations, Association and other large groups. Ourprocess separates the grownups from children by approving membership by age, eitherover or under 18. It works this way; The parent signs up for the site and their age and identity is verified, The parentthen signs up the child fulfilling the requirement for parental consent. The site is then moderated using the GMI proprietary moderationtools. Although the sign up process is simple and seamless, the cost of the service is oneof the issues preventing its implementation; free siteswould need to charge, as ad revenues may not cover the cost of providing theservice. GrownUpsOnline charges a small fee for membership, but both management andmembers realize the fee is the cost of building trust between its members, and thevalue of providing a safe Internet environment.
