Google is planning to tweak its services and offer a special child account to children under 13 years old, The Information reports.

"The contemplated features include a dashboard for parents to oversee their kids' activities, a child-safe version of YouTube and requiring people who sign up for a Google account on devices powered by Google's Android software to share their age. Google requires people to share their age when they sign up for Google services on personal computers," a parcel of the report reads.

At the moment, Google's web services are only available to teens and adults, in accordance to U.S. privacy laws.

The Mountain View-based company is pushing for this initiative to be able to enter the more lucrative "education" market.

Google extended support to the education sector via Chromebooks, however, these gadgets are limited to Google' services.

The news stirred concerns on some privacy advocates.

"Unless Google does this right it will threaten the privacy of millions of children and deny parents the ability to make meaningful decisions about who can collect information on their kids," said Jeff Chester, executive director of the Center for Digital Democracy, an online privacy group.

Targeting children will allow Google to expand their horizon, but the tech giant will definitely be tapping into a very complex market.

Kids using tablets and mobile devices are a commonplace in this day and age.

Even apps developers recognize that the younger audience.

Tech Crunch has recently reported of Kurdle, a new mobile application meant to safely and wholesomely introduce children to social media.

The photo-sharing app is a restricted and filtered version of Instagram.

Curiosity of the young minds can go a long way and while Lock SafeSearch is in place, there are plenty of ways for children to be able to access web pages and services that are inappropriate for their age.

Facebook does not also cater to children under 13, but being candid and honest admits it is quite a challenge to catch underage users falsifying information.
