My 9-year-old nephews have hotmail accounts. One of them is sending me email. I think they are typing in directly -- my sister would never allow these spelling errors.

Do hotmail's TOS even allow for under-13 accounts? And as [livejournal.com profile] houseboi pointed out to me, are they getting V!agra spam now?

Dismaying fact: they are top-quoting.

If they were honest about their birthday while signing up, in order to be COPPA (some recent "protect the children! blindfold them and plug their ears at all times!" law) compliant they probably require parental approval,
which is just another email (to a different address) and a click-to-accept link.
