Oh, come on you guys! What's the big deal about putting cookies on children's computers so you can track kids under the age of 13? If the courts say it's okay then you should be okay with it too. Besides, how are kids supposed to know what they like unless they receive targeted ads telling them what to like? Duh.

Monday's decision is a fresh setback for computer users, after the same appeals court last November 10 said Google was not liable under federal privacy laws for bypassing cookie blockers on Apple Inc's Safari browser and Microsoft Corp's Internet Explorer browser.
 
I'm not a fan of all this tracking to start with. However, if this tracking is legal, how realistic is it to expect Google to know who's using a computer at any given time?

Child targeted site or not, this one is pretty tough to make work.
