Google begins global rollout of age verification API in Google Play
摘要
谷歌宣布在全球范围内推广其Play Age Signals API的正式版本。该API旨在帮助开发者在不侵犯用户隐私的前提下确认用户年龄，无需用户提供身份证件或自拍验证。系统依托于谷歌的Family Link应用，由家长为孩子的受管理账户设置年龄范围（如16-17岁），应用据此提供相应内容。年龄范围会随用户成长动态调整，且该功能为完全可选，家长可随时开启或关
Governments around the world are suddenly very keen on online age verification requirements. In some places, this takes the form of ID requirements to access adult content, but several US states have also focused on app stores. With these laws now going into effect, Google has announced an expansion of its beta Play Age Signals API, which it claims will allow developers to confirm user ages without impinging on privacy.
Google's system doesn't require an ID or selfie verification—it's connected to the company's existing Family Link app. The idea is that parents will set age ranges for their kids' managed accounts. For example, you might set a range like 16–17, allowing apps to tailor experiences and content for teenagers.
Google notes that the ranges are dynamic and may change as young users get older. So a kid who's 13 may be in the same app content bracket for a few years before hitting the next level. Parents have the option to set and share these ranges if they want that additional level of control over what their children can access in Google Play. However, it's not mandatory for child accounts—it's fully opt-in and can be turned off at any time.
