The law only provides if the child answered and acknowledged they are a minor that Google has “actual knowledge” in law that does != google does not have actual knowledge if the minor lied or didn’t answer. It’s simply a matter of the burden of proof, but in either case I think the evidence will be there that Google knew or should have known the user was/is a minor.

COPPA also requires “verifiable” consent of the minor’s parents...is a check box really verifiable consent? How can Even Google claim they verified who checked the consent box?
