So saying this age or that age is mature enough to not be an idiot anymore has absolutely no relevance to the age restriction. I strongly agree with that point. (But the law had to place a specific age limit (probably dictating that kids are too stupid to use the Internet, which is false), otherwise it would all be very messy, trying to adjust the law to everyone's needs. There's no "one size fits all" law to protect idiots on the Internet. (So they had to settle with the most reasonable limit to create an account to use online web services.))

That's all I can say for that reply.
