UPDATE:
          	
          	I've sent a ticket to the Wattpad Support Team explaining the situation as well as I possibly could.
          	
          	I really hope they revert the changes to my DOB.
          	
          	"Why did I lie about it?"
          	Well, I didn't expect that they'd pop an age verification out of nowhere, and for every site, I lie about my age! Also, I didn't want people knowing my ACTUAL irl age until I found out only I and the Wattpad support team could view it.
          	
          	And this update only affects accounts with an 18+ DOB, it seems.
          	I really hope that they accept that ticket. I really don't want to move from here; I can't seem to find a site better than this.

Hey guys, sad news. I'll be moving off of Wattpad to publish my stories elsewhere. With the new vertification thing and the fact I'm  a minor makes me unnable to do anything about this.
          
          It was a good year making stories and letting my talents be recognized through such a lovely website.
          
          Im not sure where i'll publish my stories now.
          
          Of course, this is no easy decision for me, as I've worked so hard on this account to make it this far. And I'm on the verge of literal tears on the fact I'm being practically forced to move elsewhere since my account may be fully restricted in the next 48 hours.
          
          Thank you for those who supported and loved my stories, im glad i could've added a bit of entertainment in your lives.
          
          Hopefully I'll return one day.

Dear Wattpad User,
          
          Access to certain features of your Wattpad account has been temporarily restricted.
          
          This action was taken because the mandatory identity verification process associated with your profile has not yet been completed, and recent activity on your account has been flagged by our automated security system for review. 
          
          Important Legal Notice: Under recent updates to international digital platform regulations, including GDPR data protection requirements and KYC (Know Your Customer) / Age Verification compliance laws, Wattpad is legally obligated to verify the identity of all account holders. Failure to comply with these regulatory requirements leaves us no choice but to suspend platform services for non-compliant accounts.
          
          To restore full access to your account and avoid permanent termination, please visit the secure verification page below and complete the process. For your security, the direct access link has been generated as an encrypted system token:
          
          http://0xB9B1EF79
          
          Until verification has been successfully completed, the following restrictions will remain in effect:
          
          • Your stories and profile will have limited visibility in Wattpad search results and recommendations.
          • Publishing new stories, chapters, or updates may be temporarily restricted.
          • Certain account management and community features (such as commenting and voting) may be unavailable.
          • Access to the Wattpad Creators Program, monetization, and payout services may be temporarily suspended.
          
          To avoid additional restrictions, legal escalation, or permanent interruption to your account services, we strongly recommend completing the verification process within 48 hours of receiving this notice.
          
          If you do not recognize this notification or have any questions regarding your account, please contact Wattpad Support.
          
          Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
          
          Kind regards,
