It's a bit unfortunate that we need to teach our kids to lie to service providers to be safe.


We don't. This is the exact opposite of that, children are breaking the law and possibly exposing themselves to things that will be harmful to them when they access the web without adult supervision, google is attempting to force parents to take some responsibility for their children.


And what is that harm that Google allegedly protects the kids from? Because the harm it causes to them - losing access to service - has been explained above.


You're being incredibly combative and I don't think it would be productive to have any further conversation.


If explaining that this "feature" doesn't increase anybody's safety sounds combative to you, then I agree, it wouldn't.
