Toot

Is the DoJ/FTC of the opinion that parents own their children (up to age 16) or is their language about games just terrible?

The ban is "purchase loot boxes in their video games without a parent’s affirmative express consent".

When I was a kid, the only banking you could get before age 16 (maybe even 18) did not provide a working card number so you could not buy things over the phone (later online). Also... if you don't want your kids spending money, don't give them discretionary money?
