My kid made a presentation for his class using Google Docs, then filled in his day of birth on his new phone when setting it up, then got locked out of his account. He was 12 at the time.

Also, his class had a WhatsApp group chat in which school info was shared. This was kind of weird because it meant that all 12 year olds in the group must have cheated their dates of birth, because otherwise they could not have had a WhatsApp account

Cheating on your DOB is a rite of passage on the internet. I did it in the 90s. I think my old hotmail account still has my mom's bday in it

One of the main results of COPPA is teaching children to lie about their age on the internet.

Why yes I was born on the 20th of April, way back in 1969, why do you ask?

I’ve been a 41-year-old single dad ever since I was a nine year old.

90s? COPPA didn't go into effect until Q2 2000.

Sorry, I was 10 so I don't have the best memory of the era. Lol.

And I still probably lied about my age in the 90s. I doubt StarCraft allowed 8 year olds to play on battlenet
