User blog comment:Wikian13000/Its illegal to be on here under 13?!?!?!?/@comment-944111-20101028001000/@comment-68.35.92.73-20101028131245

Wow Lss, either you yourself are about 10 years old and have no concept of liability or you simply have the mind of a 10 year old. Sure, wiki could likely ignore the law and just not request info about peoples ages, but the first time an angry parent files a suit against them they are going to get ripped to shreds legally. It is much "safer" for them to abide by federal law. That's why they do it. Finally, the law is there for a reason, it's not something you simply ignore simply because some little kid doesn't like it. You will grow up some day and have kids of your own and likely come to agree with many of these protections that are in place.
