We will use AI to interpret a variety of signals that help us to determine whether a user is over or under 18. These signals include the types of videos a user is searching for, the categories of videos they have watched, or the longevity of the account.
When the system identifies a teen user, we’ll automatically apply our age-appropriate experiences and protections, including:
- disabling personalized advertising
- turning on digital wellbeing tools
- adding safeguards to recommendations, including limiting repetitive views of some kinds of content
If the system incorrectly estimates a user to be under 18, they will have the option to verify that they are 18 or over, such as using a credit card or a government ID. We will only allow users who have been inferred or verified as over 18 to view age-restricted content that may be inappropriate for younger users.
