#2While the content ist laudable, did they really just announce that starting September 1st, devs should plan ahead due to extended review times - and make the announcement on August 30?

That article is also linked on the fourth word in this article...

#4>> Apps that include children in their target audience need to adhere to our new policy requirements including appropriate content, showing suitable ads (learn more), and disclosing personally identifiable information correctly.
so youtube kids would be a flagrant violation of their new policy. why do they keep recommending this app to me? shouldn't it just be demonitized like they do to countless devs for unstated reasons.
Google has less than zero trust stored and they should probably learn that this means they will lose money (sooner or later).

#5While the deeper review is fine, Why wasn’t this better planned with more resources allocated to the review process to keep the time in 2-3 days. And when I submitted my game - Word Hookup -for internal testing it took 8 days for approval. Why should internal testing require this prolonged review. 7 days for internal testing is a painful and unacceptable waste of devs time.

#6The way easier solution to this content rating mess is don’t give your young child a phone/tablet. Give them a coloring book and a Snap Circuits kit.
I realize this isn’t something Google can do something about; this is directed at the parents giving an internet connected device to a developing mind.

You think that is easy?

It is if you never start. Once your kids are hooked, forget it.

And what about exposure from outside your control?
Edit: and what about for parents who don't have the resources or ability to manage that kind of control? My point is that it's not easy, not even in the slightest.

Then you wouldn't need to write apps targeting kids, since no kids would be able to use them, and all of this doesn't apply to apps for adults.
