A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

How do they even plan on enforcing this? What would possibly be the consequences for either parent or child if they violate?

This is just as useless as requiring people to be a certain age to access your web site. Everybody on the internet was born January 01, 1901 and everybody's real name is Batman Bin Suparman until proven otherwise.

Also, the last thing we need is even more ways to exclude young people from society. I mean, who looks at young people and thinks "you know what would make this lonely, overworked, overstressed, hyper-regulated cohort better? MORE ISOLATION!" ?
