<p>As the contract in question explicitly states US court, the teen
certainly has standing or her parents do if she is a minor. The logistics
of actually suing the company in California are another story </p>

is about putting restrictions on some kinds of ads on Internet services,
applications etc that aimed at minors. It also allows minors to remove
content about themselves. <br><br>Whatever agreement or disagreement people
may have with this particular law, one important issue here is that
California can make such law, but not states in other countries, not even
national governments. I mean it is so so difficult for them to enforce it,
that it may not be worth attempting it. At other places, big companies may
simply blackmail them by threats of withdrawal as Google did with
governemnt of Taipei a few years back. (which they wont do with Gov of
California).... This is how policy space for non US gov entities is
shrinking fast, and what it means is that political and democratic space of
our world is shrinking... A key global IG issue if there ever was
one.<br><br>parminder </span><o:p></o:p></p></div></div></blockquote>
