Watch Out Garry: California Passes 'Internet Undo’ Law For Children - Polidicks

Isn't Facepunch in the UK anyway so Garry won't have to enforce this law? Or am I really bad at understanding internet laws?

Enforcing this sounds like a shitstorm.

[QUOTE=Rangergxi;42402778]Enforcing this sounds like a poo-poo storm.[/QUOTE] There I fixed it for you, don't want to teach the kids bad language. :downs:

[QUOTE=Ayane-152;42402677]What if they lie about their age?[/QUOTE] If they're lying it's their own fault that they won't get their posts removed.

[QUOTE=mattmanlex;42402591]Read the article people it's in the first damn sentence :v:[/QUOTE] and according to that, this is a good law kids are real dumb with personal info we need a way to protect them from THEMSELVES obviously a parent should know enough just by nature but you still need a "Safety net" from kids being stupid little shits

This is good, I don't know why people are bashing this. It would be better if it was for everyone and not just minors though.

[QUOTE=Starpluck;42402624]even though i live in california I [B]REFUSE[/B] to enforce this law[/QUOTE] Nobody will ever give a fuck about your refusal. Law must be obeyed. :v:

A kid can be just as responsible with their personal information as an adult if they've been taught what not to post on the internet.

Laughing my ass off right now

Stresiand Effect to the fucking max

There's one thing I know that Facepunch will never fully undo on the internet. Doug and Dougpunch, he'll never stop coming back.

Doxxing is already not permitted on this forum so this basically changes nothing, anything that could cause harm to a user would already be removed?

i'm in full support of this.

[QUOTE=ViralHatred;42404322]Doxxing is already not permitted on this forum so this basically changes nothing, anything that could cause harm to a user would already be removed?[/QUOTE] But if a complete idiot like say, Knux95, posts [url=http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1261162&p=41348133&viewfull=1#post41348133]something retarded[/url] and people quote him, he can ask for all the posts that quoted him to be removed. And that's bad.

hi gerry can you please remove oify for the good of everyones reputation their thank you and god bless

[QUOTE=Alec W;42402516]Maybe, instead of making it easy to cover up our mistakes, we should make people own up to them and accept the consequences to what they put on the internet. This is dumb as hell.[/QUOTE] I think that beyond this, people need to realize that shit people say when they're teenagers isn't completely representative of them once they've grown up. Shit I posted back in '06 and 15 years old doesn't reflect who I am now, and realistically shouldn't be affecting my job opportunities. Unless I did something criminal.

Why do they keep bothering trying to do the parents job when it would be soooo much more effecient and productive to educate parents on the internet and how to deal with their children on the internet.

Unconstitutional

I wish they would do this so forums and other places would have to enforce the no 13 year olds rule

Seriously, half of the issues we have stem mostly from our parents inability to actually be good parents.

[QUOTE=RenegadeCop;42405893]I don't see what is so bad about this, it's not a BAD idea, but it could probably get annoying. There should be some limits/exceptions/restrictions, just like any other good law.[/QUOTE] It is a bad law and idea because it is worded in a way that will make it easy for it to be abused and directly clashes with the Internet as it is now. Plus it is a 'nanny law'.
