The rules I find say: "If you operate a commercial Web site or an online service directed to children under 13 that collects personal information from children or if you operate a general audience Web site and have actual knowledge that you are collecting personal information from children, you must comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act." So maybe twitter doesn't collect what would be considered PII? No address or phone number or anything like that needed to create account...

No age verification requested or required and it is listed nowhere in their terms of service whatsoever. Very interesting. Also just re-checked Twitter.

Apparently Google has gotten more strict about their age requirements. I didn't lie about my boy's birthdays when signing them up, and they both have gmail accounts (thus G+). But now they're enforcing COPA more strictly. I'm sure it's because G+ is making it more necessary. Before it was just for email and a customized home screen - now it's for a social site.

My reasoning is exactly the same: If Facebook had rules in place that made it ok, then I'd be fine signing the kids up earlier. But if I expect my kids to obey my rules, I need to show them that I will obey the rules put in place for me and them by others. I have a really hard time not getting preachy about it with my friends actually. I know many who have started accounts for their infants they they run of course - but my question is when does the child get to take that account over for themselves? That's why I just setup a fan page for my boys. Gives me the same practical use, but allows me to let grandparents and others post content there as well - actually an advantage. The interesting part about this to me is how different social media sites vary. Facebook makes a very big deal out of 13 being the rule. Twitter, Blogger, and Google have either no such restrictions or are far less concerned with it. Thus my 2 year old and 9 month old both have Twitter, Blogger, and G+ accounts so that I could squat the good usernames. As a result they'll be on those services far before FB. I'll be very curious how this will affect their eventual use and adoption of the various social sites (not to mention that landscape is likely to change a lot over the next 10 years anyway).
