It depends on the service. Any service that would collect personal information about users can't do so from minors under 13 years of age in the US without the permission of the minor's parent under COPPA: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Children's_Online_Privacy_Protection_Act
In Google's case, they don't put a general limit on their services, but some services have more specific restrictions. For example, the TOS for Google Play restricts it to users 13 years of age or older: https://play.google.com/intl/en_us/about/play-terms.html --Ted On 11/12/2013 3:36 PM, Yves Dorfsman wrote: > On 2013-11-12 15:38, Bill Bogstad wrote: >> On Tue, Nov 12, 2013 at 9:22 AM, Yves Dorfsman <y...@zioup.com> wrote: >>> On 2013-11-12 07:00, Edward Ned Harvey (lopser) wrote: >> >>> ... >>> Why wouldn't you just create a google account for them, and set their >>> tablets with it? >> >> Because that would be a violation of Google's terms of services. >> Google's TOS says you have to be 13 in the US to have an account. > > Is this still true? > > I cannot get to the US TOS, but there is no mention of age in the > international one: > http://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/terms/ > > _______________________________________________ Tech mailing list Tech@lists.lopsa.org https://lists.lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tech This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
