Yo,

I understand the authors concern over potential criminalization of everyday computer activities, but the example he used (Google search) is invalid. The main Google search page has no statement regarding minimum age to do a search, and there is not a link to TOS only privacy policy. Therefore, a reasonable person could not be expected to know the TOC for simple search or have to be 18 to use the search function.
