Readit NewsGoogle's not gating out under-18-year-olds for fun: they're a business, they'd love to make more money. Contract law in the US forbids people under 18 from entering into broad categories of contract, and Adsense use operates under electronic contract between user and Google where money changes hands in both directions.

Other races need to be shoehorned in.
When the robotic overlords take over, it will not be to thunderous applause nor loud protestations, but rather quietly beneath the surface silence of billions of people distracted by something more interesting or enticing.
As long as it doesn't cause an existential crisis for the shoe, that doesn't sound like a downside.
