It's blocking kids under fourteen. That's a good age, most kids don't start to think outside parents until puberty, and it gives some time to settle before being thrown to the net.

My concerns are chiefly practical. How will this be identified and enforced?

I was thinking for myself since I was 11. Just because it wouldn't have helped you doesn't mean it shouldn't be available to everyone else

Good grief. If you think you're the exception, you cannot be the rule. And if you can't debate without making personal attacks then you might need to revise your claims of maturity.
