An account says it is your age and likes your team. Can you check?

A name, a photo, and a claimed age.
Step 1 of 4
  1. A name, a photo, and a claimed age.
  2. Nothing checks them before they appear on your screen.
  3. A trusted grown-up can check instead.
  4. The grown-up checks — not you, alone.

No. Nothing on the screen lets you check.

A typed name, photo or age proves nothing.

A name is typed text. A photo can be saved and reused. An age is a number someone typed. Ask a trusted grown-up before you meet anyone or share a photo.

Sort each clue. Does it help, or prove nothing?
