Dear Google Marketing (Re: Your kids policy)

I think the way the setup in the advert is achieved legally (ie not foul of COPPA laws) is that the father owns the account and then will hand it over to his daughter at a later date (eg when she is 13, thus COPPA doesn't apply).

Therefore to apply logic to the situation, if you created a Google+ account for the email address you would enter your own age as you are (currently) the legal owner of the account.

But I agree, it's pretty clear the marketing department used some artistic license with their ad.

I'm pretty sure having two Google Accounts is a violation of their policy too.

Considering they have explicit multiaccount support[1], I find that hard to believe.
