Slack Age Gate Blocks Young Users From Accessing Content
Slack enforces a 13+ age restriction that prevents younger users from accessing the platform, including content such as product announcements or community channels. The user expresses strong frustration at being locked out of desired content. This is a platform policy constraint, not a buildable third-party problem.
