[OpenID] Teenagers do not need OpenID

> 1) Just because we can do something doesn't mean we should.

Agreed.  However, if users are already doing it, shouldn't we make it
easier?  Especially if they are going to do it no matter what?  Wouldn't it
be prudent to develop technologies that allow them to better control their
digital identities?

Who is deciding what is "bad" here?

The suggestions that Chris follow this; if you don't want to do this, don't
use it or disable it.

If you don't want your identity data public or consumed in this manner, then
don't use the service.

Again, I think we're going to have to agree to disagree here.

How many sites do I go to where I would love to able to apply some access
control to content or media?  If I could quickly and easily pull along my
social networks with me, this would be trivial.  However, that's just me.
