Google's terms of service, while ignored by the vast majority of users, contain a pretty shocking clause: Under 18's are not permitted to use any of Google's Web properties. That's right, kids--no search, YouTube, Gmail, news, or images.

Under 18s wishing to watch YouTube videos of skateboarding dogs, or perform research for a school project will have to go elsewhere--Ask.com or Microsoft's Live.com search, perhaps. The message from Mountain View seems clear: We don't want your (underage) business.

Google can screw themselves. There's no way they're going to be able to enforce this.

The user agrees automatically as soon as he or she makes any use of a Google service, including but not limited to YouTube.

They don't even try to enforce this, it's just there for legal reasons
