And we're talking 13+ here, as that is the minimum age for an SE user anyway. To me the bigger issue is that there are hundreds of mods, and SE has only minimal control and oversight over them. That just doesn't mix with granting PII access, and the age of the moderators doesn't change anything for me here. | |

And you'd trust 5-year olds to drive cars on the highway too? | |
| Dec 9, 2020 at 12:21 | comment | added | Mad Scientist | I do agree that fewer people should have access to PII, but to me age doesn't really play a role here. Twice I've deleted an account on an SE site because I didn't fully trust the newly elected moderator, as far as I know both were adults. | |

Also what's your point about not being able to check people's age? Mods could be asked to show ID, but SE (so far) has prefers not to do this. | |

but I don't in general want 14-year-olds to know my IP address — these are double standards. Why do you not want 14 year old to know your IP but want 18 year old to know?
