Digital Safety Commissioner Bill 2017: Discussion (Resumed)
11:00 am
Ms Rachel Madden:
Absolutely. That is a very important issue and something we think about a lot internally. We want to strike the right balance whereby we can confirm someone's age but without asking him or her for additional information, such as a copy of his or her passport or Government identification. If a person aged under 16 tries to set up a Google account, we will ask him or her to get his or her parent to use Family Link.
