I'm 28, but on behalf of all those who are legally powerless and who have other people 'looking after their longterm best interests' we'd prefer you didn't.

Yeah, I get that from one of my teenage daughters, as well. Alas, it's the one who most needs to listen up.

At 28, you darn well better be taking care of yourself. However, I suspect you have not had to deal with adolescent children yet.

It's one thing to take care of your own children. It's entirely another to change the law to "take care of" everyone else's. The second requires far greater justification and consent from those who would be affected by the law (those 17 year olds who are a year away from voting, for example).

Perhaps, but I'd wager that the copyright lobby uses the same justification for their own anti-consumer actions.

I believe one must be careful not to use the same means, even though improving the privacy of Facebook users and non-users alike is a worthy end.
