IANAL, but my reading of the law and FTC's requirements confirms your suspicion. Once you ask their age, then you materially "know" it and become subject to this law. Better not to ask their age or not collect any info, if their age is 13 or below.
ianal either. i was actually implying that if you asked and found out they were 12, you've just broken the law. the only problem (as i see it) is there's no way for you to collect the age information *without* possibly breaking the law. -- |-----< "CODE WARRIOR" >-----| codewarrior@daemon.org * "ah! i see you have the internet twofsonet@graffiti.com (Andrew Brown) that goes *ping*!" andrew@crossbar.com * "information is power -- share the wealth."
