Google Inc is is planning to permit online accounts for children under the age of 13. The company will make the parents in charge of those accounts through which they will be able to keep an eye on the accounts.
A report published in Financial Times stated that Google is making an attempt to establish a new version of YouTube for youngsters. Shortly, after the completion of this website the company will begin to work on few others child-friendly accounts like Gmail system.
Several other Internet Companies like Google and Facebook Inc. do not allow children under 13 to avail their services. Although it is rather a difficult task to stop them as most of the under 13 age users sign up with fake information.
A.U.S law called Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) to enforce some strict controls over the accumulation and use of information of children under 13.
Google has started this effort because some parents are trying to create accounts for their children. Google merely wants to make a straightforward procedure for them, according to the reports of The Wall Street Journal.
