Microsoft are apparently banning minors from being able to interact with Cortana which is due to Microsoft’s answer to Siri, and reported to doing this based on a US based legislation known as “Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act” (COPPA).
Obviously it’d be different once it launches here, as our laws aren’t as ridiculous as America, but a commenter on this article has essentially implied that this could be a safety issue, as it could lock out a child’s ability to call emergency services.
In truth, I haven’t ready any further into this than the article, but what are some opinions of the pros and cons for MS using the same tactic here?
