Are they Children's Online Privacy Protection Act compliant? And if they are compliant, are you saying their product is unusable if you refuse consent?
I would think their design mimicking Twitter would put them under COPPA.

This content is a key part of their product, the whole point of the Kano is that it is a carefully prepared experience from the moment you hold the box, until you're writing bash scripts.
The interface would prompt you to post your work, and the way that choice was integrated, even if it wasn't mandatory, it seemed as if was the only way to save your work.
Once it was posted it was publicly available, and anyone with a Kano login could comment. If my daughter was logged in using the Kano she would be notified of the message. There did not seem to be any way to set any privacy controls, given that I asked Kano specifically about this I'm sure they would have let me know.
I confess I have a low tolerance for hype, and as a result my communication with the Kano team was a little bumpy. I was genuinely disappointed with aspects of their product. I think a more thoughtful self critical culture would have addressed what I believe were glaring problems. Overall I appreciate what they do and I bought three.
