Google announced on Tuesday that it’ll use machine learning ( AI ) to estimate a user’s age so it can restrict inappropriate content from children.

Google isn’t the only company doing it, with Meta making use of AI for similar purposes.

If underage internet users can lie about their age to get access to content, which many will do, then tech companies can't effectively prevent them from watching or reading content they shouldn't.
