"The charges sheet also mentions that about 23 million children have been collecting YouTube data illegally, according to the complainants. And it is also said to fined US $ 1 billion after the investigation. Advertisers are given information about children. But it is not without mentioning the minors. YouTube's policy says that it can not be used by anyone who is not 13 years old. You must use a Google account to use YouTube and must specify that he is more than 13 years old.
