News Summary

• YouTube is beginning to roll out age-estimation technology in the U.S. to identify teen users in order to provide a more age-appropriate experience.
• The company says it will use a variety of signals to determine the users’ possible age, regardless of what the user entered as their birthday when they signed up for an account.
• If the new system incorrectly identifies a user as under 18 when they are not, YouTube says the user will be given the option to verify their age with a credit card, government ID, or selfie.
