An excerpt: The Data Protection Act is in place, but now questions are being asked why more data is being sought in the name of protecting children?

The Data Protection Act is based on the data minimisation principle. If you are trying to protect personal data, then you cannot ask for more data. In order to determine that somebody is a child or not, one cannot ask tens of questions and pull out more personal data than needed. But then the point is that today there is no protection at all. You look at the Australian system, even the Australian system has no foolproof mechanism, it is based on declaration.
