It's a small step but a good one. I'm tired of seeing young ones brainwashed online. Let's hope this sets a trend.

So true! Data protection and modesty go hand in hand. We need this everywhere.

Finally some sense! Deleting data right after check is basic decency. Hope this spreads fast.

I wish my country would do this. Kids are exposed to so much trash online. It's about time someone took a strong stand.
