davidguide Mountain View, CA, United States (AHN) – Teens as young as 13 can now log into Google’s social network site Google +, with some enhanced safety features. The move is a bid to attract more users.
The service has until now only been open only to adults. The announcement on Thursday comes just after the internet search giant announced changes to its users privacy policy.
Beginning March 1, the company will follow the activities of users as they move across the firm’s web sites, including its highly popular YouTube, Gmail and main search sites. The company said the changes would apply only to users who are signed into the Google accounts.
Under the new tracking policy, Google said it could track the activities of teens as they surf across the company’s Web site and when using Google +.
The enhanced safety features include warnings when teens are about to make public posts and rigid default privacy settings.
Currently, Google has 90 million users on Google+ compared with Facebook’s 800 million.
