At some point a website stops being just a website and becomes a social institution in itself. And with great power comes great responsibility.

That's a easy statement to make until you actually try to define what "some point" actually means.

We agree that kids become adults at 18 and no one has a big problem with this. I don’t believe demarcating this “some point” is far more complicated.

We don’t, though. Can’t drink until 21. Rental cars and credit cards have extra restrictions until 25. Etc.

We don’t what? Do you see many people who say that 6 year old kids should vote? Do you see many people who advocate that driving should be banned until 40? Do you think that credit card restrictions undermine the concept of the age of majority? No. We can put an arbitrary delimiter at first and argue about specifics later.

There are indeed disagreements on the appropriate voting age.

We're in specifics territory, though.

Sure, but my question was about 6 year olds, not 16 year olds.
> We're in specifics territory, though.
Exactly. The first thing to do is to make sure that 6 year olds don’t kill anyone driving recklessly and 30 year olds can vote. The rest is specifics we can argue about. The same thing with the social responsibility of companies.

Please do it then. What is this mark? 80% of TAM? Revenue over $250k/yr/employee? 10000 users?

We can start with companies with a market cap over $1bln for example. And tinker the policy based on empirical data.
