Ready for review. All comments are appreciated .

Line: 79 to 79
 Thank you all for your comments on my essay. You are likely correct both that age verification would pose a large obstacle to my proposed legislation and that if such legislation were to pass, it would not be in response to privacy concerns. I've attempted to include both of these issues (though unfortunately only briefly due to the short length of this paper). Brian, thank you especially for pointing out the importance of COPPA. Bringing in COPPA suggest the particular importance of my argument for teenagers between 13 and 17, and I'm glad I was able to address that point!

Heather, your proposal seems completely reasonable -- and actually possible because people can get roused to action to "protect the children."

However, concentrating on children may cede the adult battlefield...and when you think about it, do adult Facebook users really have any idea of the privacy implications of what they're doing when they first sign up? Drunk co-eds who post incriminating pictures of themselves need protection too!
