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. |
