How did they come up with 13yo as the minimal age btw. Is it set globally? I feel like it's itself too low.

13 is the minimum age you can get some sort of consent to log data and interact with someone in the US (with parents permission I think?) or something like that

I agree it's too low, but any higher age would be "bad for business"
