My Google account is more than 18 years old and I hit an age prompt when I was trying to watch some FPGA video (out of all things). So no, account age is not necessarily a factor.
- inopinatus 9mo agoThat makes sense. Golf has a minimum age of 35.
- pixl97 9mo agoDid you hear they are letting kids play pickleball these days! How scandalous.
- dlcarrier 9mo agoField programmable gatorade is an adult-only beverage.
- raverbashing 9mo agoYeah, they could/*should* infer your age just by the fact you're watching an FPGA video
- bluGill 9mo agoI would have watched those at 10 if the internet was a thing when I was 10. I think most people here would have. (I may or may not have understood it, but I would have tried)
- stonemetal12 9mo agoThey probably need to account for parents allowing kids to use their account, so account age can be a factor but not an automatic pass.
- nitwit005 9mo agoOne result of a US fine was making it clear that adults letting kids use their accounts is still a legal problem: https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/news/press-releases/2019/09/google-youtube-will-pay-record-170-million-alleged-violations-childrens-privacy-law https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/news/press-releases/2019/09/... Note that this is adults letting kids use their accounts to view kids content, as the issue was parental approval for ad tracking.
- 3form 9mo agoParents allowing kids to use their account is a problem with any current approach.
- RobotToaster 9mo agoCan't allow any underage synthesis.
