YouTube supervision ends after self-management decision

Detection

The child is over 13 or local applicable age and has chosen to manage their own account.

Fix (technical)

Google states that in this case YouTube cannot be supervised with these controls. Review the account status and, where appropriate, the documented Restricted Mode path rather than assuming prior supervision remains. [google-youtube-options]

Fix (relational)

Move from hidden enforcement to a jointly reviewed viewing policy appropriate for the teenager’s autonomy.

Residual risk

Restricted Mode is not represented by Google as a replacement for supervised experience.
