Get Teens out of MyFace? quandry.

Postby Faolinn » Tue Jun 25, 2013 10:28 pm

So I'm trying to choose the decision that will boost up my civil rights but unfortunately it's not always clear on here or at least not reduce them.

The Issue

After the kidnapping, rape, and murder of a young blond girl made national headlines in Faolinn, the concerned parenting organization Mothers Against Youth Doing Stupid Stuff (MAYDSS) has raised concerns over the use of social networking sites by the nation's teens.

The Debate

"Teens should not be allowed to use social networking!" cries the girl's mother, Emily Woolf. "Some creep added my little darling as a 'friend' on that awful website, and he used it to get all of her personal information and track her down! Obviously, the only sane course of action is to ban all legal minors from using social networking sites! And don't just stop at social networks: block everything else that MAYDSS doesn't approve of!"

"Why that's utterly preposterous!" shouts Luke Zuckermann, founder of MyFace, a popular social networking site. "You can't restrict people like that! Oh, sure, today it's keeping teens from lining my wa- I mean - accessing my website, but tomorrow it's keeping everyone from anywhere the government doesn't like! I say free up the web, and get rid of restrictions!"

"You know, there's always a compromise," says local pervert George W. Dimitrov while watching you from a nearby tree. "As I see it, the best way to keep both sides of the argument happy is to remove all restrictions on what adults can view and increase restrictions on minors. But at the same time, lower the age of majority by a lot. What could possibly go wrong?"

"What could possibly go wrong, you ask?" panics your paranoid cousin, Finlay Wolf. "On the internet, nobody knows your actual age. It's a haven for malicious anonymity! Besides, children aren't the only people at risk on the internet. It's full of stalker-rapists and bomb-makers and viruses and sick, depraved porn. We're better off without it."

So which one of these will do the trick?

I would say the 2nd option. Only one that sounds like it might increase it.

Another five months of gravedig isn't helping your case.
