Creeps exist above 18 years old too...
Yes but starting with an age limitation is a start on these damn things.
in what world is age restricting a relatively normal camera a reasonable decision?
How the fuck is this a "relatively normal" camera, or ANY kind of "normal"? People like you are the reason these companies get away with shit like this.

When it breaks laws. My area has two-party consent laws, so recording someone, whether audio or video, without their explicit consent is against the law. Children are often not held to the fullest extent of the law, and if they cannot be held responsible, then they shouldn't have access to such devices until they can be.
