  1. Controlling children accessing unsavoury sites Anonymous -- 24/12/07

    Perhaps monitoring age could be done by submitting drivers licence identification which could then be stored on site with password. Perhasps this drivers licence should be legally verifable against a computer owner or access isn't available.

    That way if trouble starts, anonyminity is reduced with everyone traceable no matter what country they come from.

    Of course certain children will still get hold of their parent's driver's licences and passwords,
    maybe these parents can be hit with irresponsibile parenting orders which might result in parent education classes & hefty fines....
