GDPR, a set of laws that are meant to give users more control of their data, requires that children obtain verifiable consent from a parent or guardian to use internet services or visit websites that process personal information.
The US also has the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act, a law passed in 1998 that requires all websites that collect children’s personal information to require parental consent for underage users, though kids often circumnavigate those restrictions by misrepresenting their age on age checks. Twitter’s spokesperson said the company had noticed the birthdate-changing trend earlier on Tuesday, after a number of accounts triggered the automatic lock out.
