So does it require children to *want* (or *have*) to use it? If a child has
open access to the Internet, they can set up an account as an adult. They
can even get their friends to do the same, so they have a community free
from the (inevitable) supervision that buying into this scheme would entail.
I still fail to see the value proposition from the point of view of the
child.
