Google owns YouTube and Gmail, both of which are oft used by children and adults alike.
This adds new data, because now a parent-child link is established, and the user's "child-status"/age is confirmed by the parent using this tool on them.
- viraptor 10y agoAre you trying to say YouTube can't identify children based on their video history? It's be surprised if they didn't already have an excellent estimation of child/parent split. We're taking about a company specialising in targeting user groups. Sure, there's going to be that one adult guy who does enjoy listening to the same Frozen song 5 times a day, but that's an acceptable anomaly.
