Do you ask everyone's age? And, more importantly, what if someone lies? How can you verify someone's age and, if you couldn't, how much effort would someone have to make before you would consider them shameful?
Let's just say person X meets someone online and has sexual discussions and plans to meet them. It turns out that someone is only 15 but lied about their age and sent a photo of someone else which he claimed was his. Person X failed to verify the other person's age although they did attempt it and as far as they knew the person was of age. Would that still be a problem?
"If all mankind minus one, were of one opinion, and only one person were of the contrary opinion, mankind would be no more justified in silencing that one person, than he, if he had the power, would be justified in silencing mankind."
