Re: It's the easy way out...

The other alternative is for people to have a certain intelligence level on the web. Seems we have an internet of users who follow, repeat, and generally believe the most idiotic things. In this case, the parents are derelict in their parenting or lack the skills to discern BS from non-BS.

Since the above probably won't happen, legislation seems to be a possible answer. The catch is making it reasonable and intelligent legislation. Here in the States, that's probably impossible given the knowledge of most of these people. As evidence I offer the grilling of Zuck by Congress which was basically a total sham as the CongressCritters had no clue.
