Cant you wait until your 13 bithday at least? ;__;

Did you guys know you break one of DeviantART's rule

Read this please.
Why you have to be 13 to use DA *Updated**Edit* this isn't Like KONY/SOPA/Any other thing that was a Petition, This is already a Law that everyone agreed to when they signed up to the website.
Now its not the end of the world when One of these reports are made.
All that will happen is the member under age is suspended with their account, UNTIL they are old enough to have it.
its not like they are Banned for life form the site :\
and please before you try to tell me that its my fault/DA is mean/ this is happening. It already has happened. its a Law. all the info is in the links provided so don't come bitching at at me.
I don't know about Facebook or other sites I am not Familiar with their ToS. they May be under the COPPA laws, they may have Completely different Age Agreement. so please I am not trying to cause a Stir, This journal was only made to educate some people and Stop people from Telling me "Being under 13 isn't that big a deal". *END EDIT*
I report anyone that is underage.... and alot o

Well, dA's law about the 13 underage thing is based off of an American law, maybe a Californian one, right?
Too bad then. I don't live in California, neither America so -how sad!- I'm technically not bound by that law! So I could have made an account even if I asbt 13+ even though I made my account a few days after I turned 13.

Let's be clear: if this rule is solely dad's idea, then yes I have to follow it.
If it's based on US laws like most of this site's rules, then I don't.
(And other users believe this too. So yeah)
