Governments around the world are suddenly very interested in online age verification requirements. In some places, this takes the form of an ID requirement to access older products, but several US states also target app stores. These rules are now in effect, Google said he announced a beta expansion of its Play Age Signals API, which it says will allow developers to verify users’ ages without compromising privacy.
The Google app doesn’t require identification or personal verification—it’s linked to the company’s Family Link program. The idea is for parents to set age limits for accounts managed by their children. For example, you can set 16 to 17, which allows programs to adapt to the needs of young people.
Google says these lines are dynamic and can change as young users grow. So a 13-year-old can stay in the same program for several years before moving on to the next level. Parents have the option to set up and share these settings if they want to control what their children can access in Google Play. However, it’s not mandatory for child accounts—allow me to sign in and you can turn it off at any time.
