or just making one up (birthdate) they have absolutley no way to control whether kids are viewing inappropriate material, cause teenagers would never lie about their age.Quote:

This is like "closing the gunshow loophole" that doesn't actually exist. I didn't even know there were firearms for sale on FB until this story came out. Now I'm going to go look at the ads, so in that respect it probably had the opposite effect of what they intended.
With scripts disabled by default I do not see any popup, had no idea it was there. Since I can browse without agreeing they are not enforcing it (it'd be trivial to enforce)Quote:

What does it buy them? How about indoctrination of an entire generation of new and soon to be new voters? Mass marketing at its finest.Quote:

Wow, here I thought that I was OLD. [ROFL1]Quote:

Nope, scripts disabled it works fine. Enable scripts and get the popup which if I decline redirects me to google. Disabling scripts again and it works again.Quote:
