They failed to give a example of how this harmed children, or is unique to the internet. The biggest harm they mention is getting an unsolicited email for a private high school. I remember in high school getting unsolicited postal mail from collages. The other harm was a neighbor made a youtube account and posted videos with her parents knowing. It sounds more like the parent's were harmed instead of the child, presumably she wanted to make a YouTube account and post videos otherwise she would not have done it.

I just don't really understand what we are trying to protect and what the big deal is. (Seriously if someone does understand I would really like to know.)
