I love the definitions section... So, first it defines the 4 age brackets a user can be: Under 13, 13-16, 16-18, or over 18. Then they define "Child" as anyone under 18. Then, and this is where it gets good, they define a "User" as a "Child". So by these definitions, no one can be considered a user if they are over 18. (which, then, why is there an "over 18" age bracket defined earlier??)

Not only do these people not seem to understand technology, they also don't understand that people over 18 use technology, or maybe exist?
