Congress [possibly] steps into action against Linden Labs and SecondLife, fulfilling the job of a child parent (you know that task that all parents should do, called watching over and taking care of their children) and taking actions against [to destroy?] "adult" content within the world.
Now I don't know about you people, but if I had kids I'd follow the example a friend of mine set. I introduced him and his son to SecondLife and while doing so I made sure they both understood the nature of the content that is available. Because of this he (the father) was the only one who knew the password to the account and his son could only play when supervised.
The instant something went wrong that was it, no more SL for his kid; not till he's 18 (legal age in Manitoba). What went wrong? His son got banned from a sandbox for being curious and walking through peoples builds.
The point is people, that father took responsibility as a parent and made sure that his son was not exposed. He didn't need Linden Labs or the Government to get involved and control his kids for him. As a good parent should be.
If your son or daughter is underage and playing with adult content in SecondLife or any other medium it is not the company or governments job or fault: it's yours. Buck up, act like a parent, take responsibility and then help combat something that is nothing less then opression!
