What do you think of this?
To tackle this problem, all I believe it requires is that people are 'verified' to have given correct registration information about themselves. This can surely be checked without infringing privacy rights?
Of course this would only apply to registration information, anything else is subject to the user's own choices.
For example, I am 23 years old. I'm fairly sure that under present conditions I could register with most websites as a teenager. This is inherently wrong, and I believe it should be impossible.
Also I see quite often that youngsters claim to be older, which can cause a lot of problems.
Just yesterday, I received 4 friend requests from users claiming to be between the ages of 20 and 24. I checked on the profiles, and it turned out to be one user, aged 13, promoting a 'live webcam' site. Of course, I was not impressed or amused in any way, and promptly rejected these friend requests
