The privacy implications of this are quite horrible. If you read the Google privacy notice, you'll see that Google tracks and records the activity of your child. https://families.google.com/familylink/privacy/child-policy/ https://families.google.com/familylink/privacy/child-policy/ The reactions in this thread and across the tech community toward Google are just baffling to me. There is a strong double standard. Microsoft and Facebook are, quite rightly, criticised and scrutinised over the amount and the degree of tracking they undertake. Meanwhile, Google, who capture unimaginably humongous amounts of data on users, escapes any scrutiny. From ChromeOS (an entire OS that tracks everything you do, and one heavily used in schools) to GMail and Google Analytics and CDNs, Google's digital fingerprints can be found in every corner of the web. It's no longer an exaggeration to say we live in a time when millions of people are tracked online from childhood to death. This isn't a dystopian episode of Black Mirror, but real life. I don't blame ordinary users for not fully understanding the privacy implications and the myriad and insidious ways they are tracked. But what excuse does the tech community have for giving Google a free pass on matters of privacy and online tracking?
