Not from the US, but I believe it’s to do with child protection laws, Google says it’s COPPA. Generally a service has to put in extra protections, such as prevent direct messaging, not tracking kids, not personal info. Basically all the bad shit that social media does, they can’t do to kids and most importantly have to actively monitor and restrict. That why most apps and stuff ask for date of birth or if you are over 13 or whatever
All I’m reading from this is that the company has “ethical violation” problems and should probably be investigated
