   I guess teenagers don't have any need to sync files, eh? Hate to see this gradual erosion of internet access for young people - I'd bet half the notable members of this very site started their career trajectory by learning how to break/fix computers in middle school or before

      It is not about age. It is just a way to tie accounts to a real life identity.

      It won't be surprising if the requirement comes from some alphabet agency.

         Don't most countries give people their first IDs before 18? Mine does it at 14.

            Sure, but they could still check the age while also linking the ID.
