Why am I not surprised? :/

Not surprised... at all.

What did you expect from a person called Bieber? Sooner or later, he was going to look for beavers.

Insert obligatory pedobear joke ITT.

Cant believe its only $1 million. Imagine if that information was stolen and posted on the internet... thats risking a lot of kids.

One site out of millions got caught because they advertised they were breaking the law to their users...

Your personal information is being shipped outside of the borders of your country because privacy laws cannot be enforced this way.

Yeah $1mil is probably peanuts for these guys. This kind of thing should be slapped down. Just because we adults have to suffer under the ever watchful eye of the tracking companies children should be allowed a little childhood peace and serenity.

...and yet Yahoo gets away with making hard core porn available to teens without any age check (except a warning that you have to be 18 to continue to Yahoo Groups).

This is the kind sites you actually want to see get trolled by Anonymous or Lulsec.

What's the difference from these sites to Facebook? From what I could read, at least those sites don't sell your data to whoever wants to pay for it.

can you please tell me who else is just stupid enough to go to those sites , and i guess those preteens are 99% girls

 

[infernocy]

Also i dont really care about this make up charges anymore cos all of the websites actually not force you to put your info , you put your info on your own will ,and people post there whole address --- so these are so fake , fuck you gov , you do anything to make money

 

[annymmo]

I don't get why the age difference is so played out.

Seriously companies want to track everyone! And most adults have more risks associated with this behaviour (porn) than kids.

So the fine for downloading an MP3 is about the same as collecting information on a couple thousand kids...? Great.

 

[COLGeek]

So, how can this standard possibly be enforced?

How do you verify that a user is a 12 year old girl or a 40 year old man pretending to be a 12 year old girl?

What other method would you have them use to check for under 18? Ask them who the president was in 1985? They'd just google it.
