I've noticed a weird issue in my household where several Google accounts are getting flagged as underage, and it's happening one after the other. Three accounts were deleted after we missed the verification deadline. Then, another account got flagged later, but I was able to recover it through a credit card appeal. All these accounts belong to adults, and we use the same Wi-Fi and devices. Can anyone explain why Google is doing this cascade age review across accounts? Is it triggered when one account is flagged? Also, once an account is deleted for age policy, is it really unrecoverable? Any insights would be super helpful!

This reminds me of when Quora switched to AI moderation; things went downhill fast. Just like that, it seems Google is cutting corners with automated systems.
You might want to switch to Duck Duck Go. It’s more user-friendly and offers better protection for your accounts.
Is that actually a browser?
It seems really irresponsible for Google to be deleting accounts without sufficient time to appeal, especially since AI can make mistakes. It’s definitely frustrating!
From what OP said, they were given some time to validate, so that could make a difference.
Google's using AI for age verification right now, and it's been causing a lot of mistakes, flagging accounts incorrectly. It might be best to verify your accounts as soon as possible to prevent future issues.
I know, right? I lost a huge chunk of my life's memories because of this AI mess. Better to verify!
Lol, that's not a real replacement for a Google account though!
