Personal Information Protection

Perhaps I am doing something wrong, but this does not seem to be very effective. I turned it on under 'Profile' and entered my child's email address and school, and you already have his year of birth.

 

I logged into his email (gmail), and it was completely able to send me the name of his school. There was also no notification sent.

 

I then went to the NY times home page to register for an account. I was able to use the 'restricted' email to make an account. I was then able to enter a fake year of birth. All uploaded to that site without a hitch. I also never received any notification. 

 

Im not sure about others, but for me this is one of the most important parts of Family Online security. Its the primary reason I tried Norton. Young kids can be trusting, and its important to limit the amount of personal information they give out on the internet.

 

I would love to hear if Im doing something wrong, or my expectations are wrong.

 

Thanks,
