Introduction
This is to start a discussion. I currently do not have a strong opinion, but I think it is something to consider for the future. The reason I bring this up, is that 18 years of age is a legal age in many places where most adult experiences can be enjoyed.
My Opinion:
I personally feel it may be difficult to cater to non-adults when 16 and 17 year old’s are the age range that must be family friendly. I do feel like many marketing firms are looking to define the target audience and sell to adults. Many 16 and 17 year old users do not make enough money to participate in a lot of events or wear different digital fashions and such. Many of this is money gated.
Then also to think in some places, the digital clothing choices by users can be inappropriate for 16 year old’s. I am not for censorship, but I do think raising this age requirement removes responsibility on Decentraland for making sure outfits are appropriate and such. Right now there is nothing against Adult lingerie wearables and such.
I also think it could be a concern for predators and such in the future, which that will be a whole new compliance issue. Making sure moderators are modding all conversations to scope out child predators. This is asking for conversations and privacy to be invaded.
These are just my opinions, not really based on much. Just brainstorming.
Conclusion
I would love to see what this poll says and whether or not to move forward with raising the age limit to 18 and older. Either way, I hope you share your thoughts in the comments and let’s get this discussion going. Thank you!
