The 7-layer verification gateway that detects minors attempting to open profiles on the adult platform — because an adult platform’s first duty to children is keeping them off it.
Every adult platform has minors trying to get in, and a checkbox that asks “are you 18?” protects no one. Guardian Shield replaces the checkbox with a gateway.
Registration passes through seven independent verification layers before a profile can exist. No single layer decides alone; signals accumulate across the gateway, and ambiguous cases escalate rather than slip through. The gateway sits in the write path — like everything in the Candor architecture, it cannot be skipped.
Every claim on this page will map to a dated behavioral proof before it publishes as verified. Entries below are being re-run and captured.
