We've reminded everyone multiple times already, I didn't think we'd need to say this another time.
.
Anyone that is not 13 years of age or older is strictly prohibited from having a Fandom account. If you are age 12 or under, you are breaking Fandom's TOS and are subject to being banned off the Fandom network and (possibly) a ban on other social media accounts (if those services are linked and also 13+).
.
Our goal at the Blooket Wiki is to not only be transparent with the Blooket learning game, but also be transparent with our posts that are meant to inform the users on this wiki, which is why we will explicitly state why you (if you're under 13) aren't allowed to have an account.

1: COPPA (Children's Online Privacy Protection Act) (Summary) (Full report)
.
§ 312.3: "It shall be unlawful for any operator of a Web site or online service directed to children, or any operator that has actual knowledge that it is collecting or maintaining personal information from a child, to collect personal information from a child." | TL;DR: Fandom (as a company) could face legal repercussions by allowing users under the age of 13 on their website, this law have been applied to many other companies that have this act put on their services (including but not limited to Discord, Twitter, and Instagram).

2: Fandom TOS (Terms of Service) (Community Central post)
.
"By registering for the Services, you represent and warrant that you meet the age requirement set forth above" "In California and the EEA (excluding the UK), 16 or older; or In the rest of the world (including the UK), 13 or older." "During the registration process, you agree to our Terms of Use. Part of that agreement is an affirmative statement that you are 13 or older." | TL;DR: Fandom Terms of Service forces you to at least be 13 or older to sign up, while 16 years and older in Europe (excluding the United Kingdom) and California.

3 (Bonus, doesn't apply to Fandom but does apply to the game that this wiki is based off of): Blooket TOS (Terms of Service)
.
"The EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) determines that the processing of personal data of a child residing in the European Union shall be lawful where the child is at least sixteen (16) years old, unless Member States have provided, by law, a lower age that is not below thirteen (13) years." | TL;DR: Similar to Fandom's TOS, Blooket requires you to be at least 13 years of age, or 16 years of age or older if you live in Europe (excluding the United Kingdom).
.
.
If you are under the age of 13 and want to actually follow Fandom TOS forward on, the best thing you can do is disable your account and make a new one once you turn 13 (follow this article to disable your account).

Anyways, rant done and about an hour of my life wasted, it's time for me to go inactive for another month, see you (probably) then.
