This is already in place for those under 13.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Google will also make changes in how it shows ads to minors, blocking any \u201cage-sensitive\u201d categories and banning targeting based on the age, gender or interests of people under 18.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Google on Tuesday unveiled a series of online safety measures for children including a private setting for videos uploaded by teens and safeguard for ads shown to users under 18.
