Sorry - I was quick to the punch there... That was in reference to solution #3 or #3a.
I think if we're going 'improve' age verification, we need to support the exact dates for 13 year old. I'd choose the least amount of work possible to support exact age verification but with no impact on users over 13. -edwin ----- Original Message ----- From: "Edwin Wong" <[email protected]> To: "Nick Alexander" <[email protected]> Cc: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, August 19, 2014 1:16:17 PM Subject: Re: Improving age verification At first I thought the same... but the MM/DD/YYYY picker ONLY displays if you pick the year that says you're 12 or 13. If you are over 13, you will never see this date picker/form fields. -edwin ----- Original Message ----- From: "Nick Alexander" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, August 19, 2014 10:34:10 AM Subject: Re: Improving age verification On 2014-08-19, 10:25 AM, Ryan Feeley wrote: > Hi all, > > Currently our sign-up form makes users feel older (born 1990 or earlier?), > and excludes some kids born in the magic year: > https://accounts.firefox.com/signup > > Finally… here are three proposals to improve our age verification: > https://www.lucidchart.com/documents/view/9a25eda5-f03d-46c0-80bf-756cd17da7c3 > > Remember that The Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (COPPA) is > a United States federal law that requires that we use a “neutral" age > verification mechanism. > > I believe option #1 and #2 are neutral, but I’ll require legal input for #3. > > Which do you prefer: #1, #2, #3, #3a or leave it the same? Entering YMD (#1) on mobile is out of the question. Unbelievably terrible with keyboards, Swype, auto-complete, etc. I could be convinced that #2 without the day field (what do we care? round!) is worth it. But maybe we just go for a larger year range. #3 is a lot of effort for a really small win. In general, my political features are not unduly ruffled by denying folks in the cusp year access.
