That's a easy statement to make until you actually try to define what "some point" actually means.

We agree that kids become adults at 18 and no one has a big problem with this. I don’t believe demarcating this “some point” is far more complicated.

  Please do it then. What is this mark? 80% of TAM? Revenue over $250k/yr/employee? 10000 users?

    We can start with companies with a market cap over $1bln for example. And tinker the policy based on empirical data.

    Sure, 1 million users. You're free to quibble with the specifics, but there's your magical mark.

    We don’t what? Do you see many people who say that 6 year old kids should vote? Do you see many people who advocate that driving should be banned until 40? Do you think that credit card restrictions undermine the concept of the age of majority? No. We can put an arbitrary delimiter at first and argue about specifics later.

The first thing to do is to make sure that 6 year olds don’t kill anyone driving recklessly and 30 year olds can vote. The rest is specifics we can argue about. The same thing with the social responsibility of companies.
