copying my post in Lounge:
QUOTE
in short, as long as you sign up to a website which required your email / name / any info. its illegal unless your above 13 years old.

for more info: http://www.ftc.gov/ogc/coppa1.htm

So when someone under 13 joins, its considered illegal, and some (paul murphy for eample) become spammers. the last forum i had which was an Invision fourm btw, got taken down because we had people under 13 on it. So i'm just saying, for the love of god add a age verifyer in the sign up page.

On myspace, over half of the people aren't even 16. You're supposed to be 16+.

Hell, when I first joined cB ( I had other usernames), I was twelve.


I think everyone does it. Should we all go to jail then?

It's stupid. People will lie anyway to get on a forum site/blog site/ whatever.

And it's their own fault for trampling into something they're not supposed to.

It's wrong to close down an internet site for that.
