As Tateru Nino wrote about in Age/Identity verification and adult content flagging issues and information roundup, there are many issues related to age verification. I had the opportunity to talk to Sarah Nerd about her thoughts on it, as she has a role play high school. It's tough to tell where the line will be drawn - but cheerleaders as a fantasy don't seem to be anything new to me. And who better to talk to than the latest shining star on the SecondLife specific World Stock Exchange?

Here is what Sarah had to say:

NF: What do you think of age verification plans by Linden Lab?

SN:Well with all adult content within second life I see a need for age verification. I am however concerned about how the types of verification methods used will violate privacy issues.

NF: You have a role play simulator -do you think age verification will help with assuring that participants in that simulator are adults?

SN:Well second life is a game for players 18 years of age and older. I depend on Linden Lab to do proper age verification. I have no way of verify that all participants are of legal age, and no way to control or monitor all activities taking place on all of my second life properties, but if I were to find out that my small role play area were being misused I would close it down.

NF: Where do you think the line is drawn on roleplay in SecondLife?
