age requirements creating a google account
In theory, you have to be at least 13 years old before you can upload videos. That’s the minimum age for creating a Google account, thanks to the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act. The reality, though, is quite different. There are vast numbers of underage YouTubers uploading content. I filled in my birthday correctly with 01/05/1996, I'm 15 years old. I clicked I accept create my account and a message popped up that said Google could not create your account In order to have a Google Account, you must meet certain age requirements.

I have posted to Google Help forum to see if account can be reinstated without parents having to make a false declaration that their child is 13 years or older. To make sure your kids don’t change this setting, click Lock safety mode on this browser and enter your login data when prompted. To turn Safety mode off, click the link again and enter your login a second time. 3. Create playlists. Google could not create your account. In order to have a Google Account, you must meet certain age requirements. To learn more about online child safety, visit the Federal Trade Commission's website. So I visited the website and it said I had to be 13, I'm 15!!!! I have the exact same problem. My 9 year old daughter has a gmail account that we created for her. She has her own blog, and visits her friends blogs as well. Today we tried to create a Google Profile and it locked us out for 30 days. She is not over 13, and therefore cannot unlock her account using the ordinary method. Choosing any other country, removes the birthday field and you no longer have to enter this information. Google's page for creating a new account is famous for only requiring your email address and your country, so it's strange to see that users from the United States have to enter their birthdays. Google's terms of service say that you may not use the Services and may not accept the Terms if you are not of legal age to form a binding contract with Google. If you try to enter a date like 4/28/2009, Google shows this message: In order to have a Google Account, you must meet certain age requirements.

Google could ban your account if you lie with your birthdate. I have supervised my daughter to create a gmail account for herself. We have read through the Terms of Service and there is no age requirement in them. Apart from her emailing to her friends, we have also used this gmail account to synchronize a family calendar through Google Calendar (on her iPad).
