A USA Today publication states that Google develops new versions of its most popular products that will be targeted directly at children under 12.
According to the publication, the Google Search, the YouTube and Chrome will be released first, because they are "widely consumed." Pavni Diwanji, technical vice president, said: “The big motivation within the company is everyone who has children, so there is a push to change our products so that they are fun and safe for children. ”
Εδώ η εταιρεία, μάλλον στρουθοκαμηλίζει και μάλιστα αρκετά αφού το παραδέχεται κατά κάποιο τρόπο. Από τη μία θα προσέξουμε τα παιδιά, και από την άλλη παρακολουθεί με τα προϊόντα της ακόμα και τα παιδιά για να στοχεύει καλύτερα τις διαφημίσεις της. Η FTC απαιτεί από όλες τις Companies have parental consent before using any data come from children.
Of course, Google is not going to accept this without giving up its fight. Diwanji said: "We expect the movement to be controversial, but the simple truth is that children already have technology in schools and at home, so all we have to do is see how they can make the best use of it. . ” He could easily say: "If they have technology at school and at home, why not take advantage of it?" but these are probably only said at company action plan definition meetings.
There is no information on when Google will release its "safe" products for children, but since the announcements have already begun, it is very likely that we will see them in 2015.
