Google+ is open to all - but not under 18s

Today is a big day, because finally Google+ is open to everybody (except from under 18s). A message on google.com says: Thanks for waiting. Google+ is open to all! Join now. The only thing I am disappointed about is that it is not open for under 18s. There were lots of questions about this as well. I know some people think it should not be open for under 18s. I saw a comment on a Yahoo answers page saying ¨Facebook used to be cool when it was a college-only thing...then Mark opened it up to everyone and it went downhill dramatically¨. I have asked the question on Yahoo Answers as well and someone answered:
¨Only after Beta is over and Child Control Settings are in place will it be released to minors. Till then it is their policy as they have no child control filters in place currently they do not wish to allow under age users to use the site.

G+ was expected to have a open release date in August, now expect maybe early september ¨
(This was about a month ago)


What do you think?
