Just as these places in the real world require people
are of legal age, the Internet sites (sites) should make
same requirement.

Many sites go in that direction. For you register with
youtube, for example, must have more than 18 years. And you
watch certain videos should be registered there. Thus he
is banning some videos for viewing by minors.

What any social media is doing is trying to adapt to law, by
analogy, while the legislature does not update our
legislation.

Here is everything. To be allowed free movement of
children and adolescents without the parents present, the control should
extremely rigorous.

And if any social media is that charge, of course, is the responsibility
and social commitment.

In my opinion, it is very important that the owners of the site have
awareness of content that is exposed through its pages and - as
charge of space -, but must establish the rules of
society in which we live.

Thanks.

These agencies have agreed to forfeit stimulus funds rather than pay back the $7.1 million. The agencies made the list for a variety of reasons: improperly diverting funds, failing to retain officers in accordance with amtrak promotion code program rules, or not documenting how funds were spent.

Here's a novel concept. How about the parent or guardian protecting the children? Hopefully most parent s or guardians wouldn't drop off their child(ren) in Hyde Park in London or Manhatten, NYC and say "Have fun and don't give out your name to anyone!" The net is no different from a large city. You can't just turn kids loose on the web and expect the government and everyone else to take care of them. And giving out social security numbers to marketing sites to verify an age? good grief.
The added problem is that many kids make up ages to stay "safe". My 11 year old nephew poses as a 38 year old man from Florida because he has learned it's not safe to say who you really are online. I can't fault him. I thought it was quite clever, in fact.
This is a problem for PARENTS or GUARDIANS and not for the government or corporations.

NYT is late to the game on this. ISTTF is, to put it bluntly, a load of crap cooked up to satisfy the State AG's.

If you really want to talk to someone with a clue, go to the Family Online Safety Institute's conference on December 11th.
