Where children are involved, acting "paternal" is appropriate and using that term in a derogatory manner doesn't make sense. A kid's entire browsing history could end up compromised on a Facebook server and go public and affect them for life. Even most adults don't fully understand that risk.
- scarejunba 8y agoNah, fuck that. I was a teenager. I knew what I was doing and so did the rest of us there. You guys are just pulling the same "think of the children" crap you did trying to get kids to stop playing Doom when they were _perfectly fine_ with it. God, it's not like any of you would have given us a chance to progress. We had to take it and you will put all these damned walls in the way. The anti-abortion protestors of the Internet. Actually unsurprising considering how protectionist HNers are. You act like it's the end of the world to lose your data. But you know what? I'm in my 30s now, if I'd had to have had my entire browsing history monitored it would still have been worth it because the alternative would have been languishing in never having the experiences I do now in the First World.
