This establishes that enforcement consequences for child exploitation violations can extend beyond the Google Ads platform to a law-enforcement-adjacent federal reporting body.
Interpretive note: The word 'may' indicates this reporting is discretionary, not mandatory. The clause positions reporting as one of potentially multiple enforcement actions.
Readers responsible for child exploitation violations may have those violations reported to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children.
How other platforms handle this
If we learn that we've collected the personal data of a child under the age of 13 or 16, as applicable, we'll take reasonable steps to delete the personal data. This may require us to delete the Skillshare account...
If we become aware that a child has provided us with personal data without parental consent, we remove such data and terminate the child's account (except where we are required to retain all or a portion of such data for compliance purposes).
Our moderators will thoughtfully consider any explanations and supplemental information provided by the Member when deciding whether to take action or reinstate access.
