Does Freedom! allow minors to partner without parental consent?

[JakeVegas]

Greetings all!

I have a quick question: does Freedom! allow children under the age of 18 to partner with them without having parental consent? I was chatting with another freedom partner earlier and we mutually agreed to check out each other's channels. When I visited his channel, I realized he was just a kid...maybe 5 or 6 years old. Do these young children need verified parental consent to join the network? I just find it a bit odd that kids that aren't even teenagers yet and can't legally work can be in a business partnership, especially if parental consent is not required. Someone put my mind at ease here.

Thanks

Well I joined without an issue.

Well I joined without an issue.

Interesting. And I'm assuming you're under 18 years old then?

You know, I never have really been exactly sure how that all works. I do know plenty of people under the age of 18 who are within Freedom and pretty certain there was no parental consent involved.

From Youtube terms of service. I don't think you're even supposed to have a google account if under 13. I haven't ever heard of accounts being banned because of being under age though, it's very hard to verify someones age over the internet.

Thanks, I appreciate you providing that information. I understand that its quite difficult to verify how old a person actually is over the internet...with that in mind....what steps does Freedom take to ensure their partners are over the age of at least 13?

I have seen many youtube accounts from kids under 13 who joined Freedom where i can guess their parents don't know about it...
