Hey all. I'm on mobile right now so I can't write a whole lot, but I want to set the record straight here.

When we find out a user is under 13, we are required by law to follow certain steps, including disabling their account. Failure to do so could and would get us in serious trouble with the U.S. government.

If it were up to us to set this policy for ourselves, we might make different choices, but it's not up to us. Congress passed a law and we have to follow it.
