banning all minors won't save imgflip, it will break imgflip https://imgflip.com/i/5t88ij

Age 18 is a weird one. If you’ve reached the age of 18 and are unable to handle the content of Imgflip, chances are you’re unable to handle the content of life.

As for age 13: without any means of verifying ages, the under-13 crowd is just going to log into the 13+ website anyway. And, even more disturbingly, there’s nothing stopping child predators from creating accounts on the under-13 site and be presumed to be under-13 as well, with no or minimal adult social supervision. It’d be a catfisher’s playground. I don’t know why any tech platform is seriously considering it.

Trying to partition Imgflip along age-related lines would be a disaster for many reasons, but that’s the main one.

sheesh

Here's why this isn't happening: how will imgflip check our IDs? They can't.
Why would imgflip throw away half their clicks and potential goggle adsense money by banning everyone under 18? They won't.
What would incentivize a a website based on memes to ban one their main fan groups (teenagers)? Nothing.

what if COPPA got involved and sided with butslider, we would have among us all over again

I'm deleting and faking my age, lol

XD

this is the only time I'd support raiding a user

yes

How will COPPA, or for that matter imgflip, check photo IDs to confirm theoretically underage users are infact underage?
How can imgflip be sure I'm not a mountain gorilla with a stolen cell phone? They can't! My secret is safe!

Ohh good I was going to repost this hear looks like you beat me to it
