I’m no fan of business – mainly because they’re too often about profit at any cost. Netchoice a USA coalition of trade associations, eCommerce businesses, and misguided online consumers has set up iAWFUL (Internet Advocates’ Watchlist For Ugly Laws).
iAWFUL compiles a top ten list of the worst internet laws in America – and a law that restricts the ability of companies to sell to minors tops the list – which really just confirms my opinion that business will do anything to turn a profit – out of all the laws listed this is the worst?
You know not being able to sell to minors on the internet is a good thing and anyway if the USA is anything like the UK it’s pretty much impossible to sell to minors over the internet as you’ll need a debit or credit card which minors can’t obtain.
Hat Tip: The Register.
