Google wants New Customers: Kids (Google Prepping 'Child-Safe' Version of Services like kid-friendly version of YouTube)

Google is reportedly preparing to launch a child-centric version of some of its services a move that would give kids their own Google accounts for the first time. Currently, the company's age limit on those who can officially obtain a Google in the U.S. is 13 years old. The new initiative will allow younger users to obtain their own YouTube accounts on a "child safe" version of the video site.


Google will also start requiring that users disclose their age when signing up for a Google account on Android devices, the report says and will give parents a dashboard application that will allow them to monitor the activity of their children on Google services.

Many underage children are likely already accessing Google's account-only services through various illicit means. Introducing such a change could dramatically increase Google's user base, particularly among children whose digital activities are more closely monitored by their parents.

"We don't comment on rumor or speculation," a Google spokesperson told Mashable when asked to comment on the report of the new initiative.

Google is reconstructing its online properties in hopes of creating legal services for would-be users under 13 years old. The three changes highlighted were a possible kid-friendly version of YouTube, a control panel giving parents easy access to their children's web activities, and age verification on Android devices.
Facebook encountered a similar challenge when a report from 2011 uncovered that almost half of all online 12-year-olds in the U.S. used Facebook "illicitly" considering the social network's 13-and-up user agreement. Facebook considered a kid-centric service later in 2012, but ultimately, nothing came of it.

இது (காதல்)விதையா இல்ல ? வலியையும் பிரிவையும் கொடுக்கும் ஒன்றை இன்று வரை பல இதயங்கள் சுமக்கின்றன சுமையாக அல்ல சுகமாக ! இது வெளியே இருக்கும் வரை யாருக்கும் பாதிப்பு இல்லை உள்ளே வந்துவிட்டால் வேறு எதையும் யோசிபதில்லை இதனால் ஒருவர் மற்றொருவரை நேசிக்கும் தருணம் இல்லை என்றால் அனைவரும் யோசிப்பது மரணம் உளவியல், வாழ்வியல் ஆகிய இரெண்டையும் கலவி இல்லாமல் கற்றுத்தரும் கல்வியாக இருப்பது காதல் !...
