Good point. This also happens on YouTube. We can't stop this as millions of our users are underaged. Still, I kind of think COPPA is a stupid law, but this keeps kids away from learning bad things (swear words, hacking, etc). One of the wikis I contribute to has a "No asking for people's age" law. Which is acceptable in one reason and not in another reason.
