Well, the good ol' FTC is taking a hand in the Internet now. It appears that they have declared it illegal to request information on minors without the parent's consent. Is it just me, or do these guys a) not know a blasted thing about the net, and b) suffer from a case of rectocranial inversion? I mean, I'm all for protecting children and all, but the way to go about it must be firmly based in realistic ideas. This actually looks to me like a thinly-veiled way for the government to reassert its control on the Internet.
