    Yeah, maybe they should have some sort of ‘young child’ accounts for children under 13, that are required to be in a family with more restrictions on store access and such.

      I there are some regulatory hurdles as well, like data collection and ratings board stuff. It would probably take some work to implement those.

      Thanks to COPPA, American kids under 13 actually have very good protections online. To the point companies like Google and Valve will forego profits so they don’t have to comply.
