I need to understand. Lets say I have an inquisitive 8 year old kid at home who does arduino and pi and 3d printing and Python and now even does YouTube and stuff. They are saying now that they have implemented telemetry that a resident offline software cannot be used by aged 13 and below? Why? What has the law to do with offline apps on a personal computer owned by a family home when the machine is supposed to be "family machine". The next thing you know windows will forbid ages 13 and below from using their products? Its not like there are dangers of pedos by using audacity? What about "YouTube kids"? How is that allowed when its online with automated content moderation but audacity is not for kids?

As I read it this was (based on the previous revision of the policy) - "we're planning to store some data on all users, with no way to opt out. However, in some regions, we cannot/shouldn't store data on people who are 13 or under. So, if you're 13 or under, please don't use this software as we'll be storing data on you."
