Couldn’t they just make this default for everyone? No need to distinguish between teens and adults for that.
YouTube says it plansYes, let Google and YouTube raise your children what could go wrong. How about society verify you’re not an absolute fuck wit and capable of raising children.
i mean, that’s what raised me
Turning on digital wellbeing tools
Not that though, fuck that shit.
Both my YouTube and google accounts are over 20 years old. I don’t think I’ll have a problem, but you never know…
You know they won’t take that into account.
My main YouTube I had since 2006, but I got new email and it’s on 6 months old. I do pay for Premium and the shit I subscribe to and watch is vanlifers and cooking shows, along with music video’s. Clearly I am an adult. I also about start an YouTube show. They will see I am an old man lol.
I mean, honestly this is one of the better uses for machine learning. Not that this age checking is a good thing but if you’re going to do it on a mass scale then this seems like the right approach. I imagine that especially for a relatively heavy user this is going to be extremely accurate and far better than the alternative of providing a selfie let alone picture of an ID.
