Consider: “The Passport Canada website was found to be leaking applicant data last week. One site visitor discovered that by altering a character in the URL, he could view other applicants’ social insurance numbers, driver’s license numbers, and other sensitive personal information.”

I just *LOVE* how all the whiners always say ‘PROBABLY ILLEGAL” – well, find out, idiot. Your letter looks like a 10-year-old whining because he can’t have his cake and eat it too.

You want to whine about it – whine to Integrity.
Dipshit.

BOTTOM LINE: The residents who are the most vociferous (google it) against age verification are the ones who enjoy PORN,ESCORTS,STRIPPERS,RAPE/ROLE PLAY,AGE PLAY…etc…. Period.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The rest do not care either way. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mature land and age verification will not affect the positive aspects of SL…only the darkside.

Complete bollocks matey.

Because this age verification is purely voluntary, then the sex/porn industry will continue on SL in the same way it always has. They just won’t mark the land as having mature content and carry on as before.

look at that and tell me wtf

our data protection is much more stricter and tighter than canadas and the lindens in the uk are being ignored by there vosses

Also, it will affect people who happen to have mature land and are renting it out,
or those that have uhm… I dunno… other mature stuff that is non sexual?
Combat sims? wouldnt want kids there specially with the heavy RP going on there.
if you think mature parcels that will have to be flagged only are the ones with sexual stuff on it… Get your ass out of the welcome area for once and actually have a look around.

and yes… I like sex. Heck, everyone does. I bet your mom and dad enjoyed it. Else you wouldnt be sitting there behind your computer. Be glad your father wasnt celibate.
And I bet he’s also got a stash of mags hidden somewhere. Probably hidden under your pile of Disney magazines in your room…

On canadian issue. The issue I see is, how did Aristole get the personal ID’s to verify against. If canadian government handed it over then issue is with Canadian Government. Why did they do so? Verification is a new service and there is no need for the SIN if Aristotle provide Voter Profiles for Canadain MP’s. If they don’t have the SIN numbers then it is false advertising that is making Canada look bad.

Bad either way you look at it.

There wasn’t any Sinister Intent, it was Just Sloppy Work. I’m sure Now that LL and Integrity are, or soon will be aware of the Difference, they will Attempt some other Avenue by which they can verify Age. But in doing so they Will discover it isn’t nearly so Easy as it is in the USA, and Canadians Aren’t the Only people who’s rights are so well guarded by their Government.

The Other point made, About Canadian Law not mattering,, Well, LL would Not be the First Foreign owned business to get Spanked by our Privacy Commission, You see, NAFTA Has provided avenues, and mechanisms to deal with cross boarder trade problems just like this IF it becomes a “denial of service” issue. But, i don’t think it will ever get nearly so far as that.
This was Just a Screw up, Nothing more.

Maria.

I find the word ILLEGAL is being bandied about far too much here as well by scare-mongerers whose really issue is that they don’t want to face up to their second lives and what they mean in real-life terms.

There’s a simple solution here: if Linden Lab can’t get international verification to work, then they simply stop attempting to verify it. After all, they are doing this not for their own sake, and not even to “keep out kids,” but to make adults accountable and also to give them some protection against liability for minors. The countries that are more aggressive about prosecution of fictional child pornography are in Europe anyway, so let them prosecute away, and let those unverified people who have adult content face the music as they will. LL can point out to any authorities who come calling that they have a system to verify, but privacy laws of countries in the EU or in Canada don’t cooperate, so they can only go so far. Then it will be up to that law-enforcement agency and its target of investigation within SL to work it out as they may.
