"AltaVista has closed down all of its community services," the company stated through a BBB release. "AltaVista is committed to screening children under the age of 13 from accessing adult content on the AltaVista Web site."  This is the latest instance of the BBB's efforts to warn Internet companies of potential problems before taking cases to federal regulators. Its Children's Advertising Review Unit (CARU) can solicit investigations by the Federal Trade Commission if a company continues to violate its child protection principles or the federal Children's Online Privacy Protection Act.

Everyone who reads the comments here is uh.. over 13 right? Yikes.
