“The good news is that most technically savvy kids are going to show this soon-to-be law exactly the respect that it deserves. . . . The bad news, as Ars Technica points out, is that adults who would be capable of and inclined to help kids make safe online choices are now cut out of the loop, since kids are going to have to sneak around to use these sites. It’s abstinence education for computers, and likely to work exactly as well.”
