That law says that parental consent is needed to collect info from kids under 13. The article references a case where clearly the parent gives consent to have an account.
- hammock 15y agoWebsite operators must use reasonable procedures to ensure they are dealing with the child's parent. These procedures may include: obtaining a signed form from the parent via postal mail or facsimile; accepting and verifying a credit card number; taking calls from parents on a toll-free telephone number staffed by trained personnel; email accompanied by digital signature; email accompanied by a PIN or password obtained through one of the verification methods above. I don't really see it feasible for Google to do any of those things just to set up a gmail account.
