I quote it:

------

Privacy policy:

> If you are under 13 years old, please do not use the App.

GPLv2:

> The act of running the Program is not restricted

GPLv3:

> This License explicitly affirms your unlimited permission to run the unmodified Program.

------

So, are they violating the GPL in an unusual way?

To be blunt, saying "please don't use it" isn't a violation of GPL since they aren't saying "you may not use it". But screw this nonsense.
