A bit of searching shows that some international legislation seems to be responsible for the age restrictions. This project cites the GDPR: https://github.com/hypothesis/product-backlog/issues/561 GitHub's ToS says an account holder must be at least 13 and gives US law as the reason in section B(3): https://help.github.com/en/articles/github-terms-of-service And finally, is GitHub's statement on child labor giving UK law as one of the reasons: https://help.github.com/en/articles/github-statement-against-modern-slavery-and-child-labor Of course, IANAL, etc., but the last two links do shed some light on the issue for me after a quick glance. - Nate -- "The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds.
