Rutton Technologies is implementing new measures to enhance youth protection on its AI interactive content platform, Crack.
On September 8, Rutton announced plans to limit daily usage for youth to a maximum of three hours and set a monthly payment cap of 100,000 won.
If youth users wish to exceed the three-hour daily limit, they will need to undergo a parental verification and consent process. Similarly, any monthly payment exceeding 100,000 won will also require parental approval.
The existing youth protection policies will be comprehensively reviewed and updated to align with changing usage patterns. Currently, Crack operates various protective measures, including content generation policies, age rating management, content review systems, search and recommendation restrictions, reporting and blocking features, and sanctions against violating accounts. Rutton plans to analyze the latest usage patterns to assess the effectiveness of these policies and make necessary adjustments.
Rutton is also considering expanding age verification methods for youth users. Currently, Crack distinguishes between adults and youth through the 'PASS' verification service provided by designated national identification agencies. Rutton is exploring additional verification methods that can ensure safety, drawing on both domestic and international examples.
This policy is set to be fully implemented in early 2027 following a thorough review of institutional and technical measures and system reforms aimed at strengthening youth protection.
