Google age verification
« on: April 7, 2021, 05:43:48 pm »
Just tried to watch a YouTube video and it said I needed to verify that I’m of appropriate age. There’s a link to google which says I have 14 days to update my account to meet age requirements - either through a government-issued ID or through credit card details.

Is this a new law that I wasn’t aware of? I don’t want to use a VPN constantly to bypass this, but at the same time I’m not really comfortable sending google this information (they probably already know everything about me anyway!)

Anyone else encountered this?

Was trying to watch a video on my YouTube playlist that I've watched at least a dozen times before and this demand popped up. Either send them some form of ID or a credit card verification.

I've had a Google/YouTube account for donkeys so no fucking thanks.
I don't always visit Lobster Pot.  But when I do. I sit.

The problem I have is that with those age-verification scrollers, the year page times out before I can get to my birth year :(
I love you all. Even Mancs x

Well be glad you're not Matt Gaetz's girlfriend - she had to borrow his ID (allegedly).  :-X

I've had this pop up on my Gmail accounts, did the same and just swiped it away.  But I'm sure it'll be back.

never had that before. But come to think of it, I use Google Pay so I guess they took my info from that  :-X
