RE: Parents Beware!- Children Accounts NOT allowed
I guess my point is that unless we have true knowledge of a person (IRL stuff) then they can't possibly know who opened the account or who maintains it.
I was speaking with @lexikon082 about this last night. So what if an account is written in the first person of a 9 year old? Who's to say that isn't an adult in a role play account? Hell, we have lordvader. Does that mean he's the real Darth Vader?
The fact that you clearly state that you are monitoring the account should be good enough to keep it. Let's get real. Have you seen some of the kids accounts on YouTube? How about the trainwreck HoneyBooBoo. What makes them exempt from this COPPA rule?
You make great, valid points @merej99! Which is why I made the post. I have gotten answers as to how to go around the system and why children shouldn't be on steemit. I have not gotten answers as to the guidelines followed and who decides which accounts get blocked and which don't.
Maybe we need more guidance when opening an account either by asking the new person opening an account if they are older than 13 or something to that extent.
