🧠 Pros, Cons, and Concerns
🧾 Summary
Google is moving toward inferring user age based on behavior, rather than relying on self-declared birthdates. If you’re flagged as under 18, Google automatically applies content restrictions, disables age-sensitive features, and offers ways to verify your actual age.
This is currently a limited U.S. rollout, but it’s expected to expand globally over time—and it has significant implications for how platforms will handle age verification going forward.
Let me know if you’re curious about how this impacts a specific Google service, or want help understanding your rights or verification options!
