Let me guess: some stupid parent gave their teenager a credit card or some online payment system (like Apple Pay) and doesn't monitor their child's transactions. Now, because they cannot parent, the whole Internet needs to lose their privacy.<br>
<br>
I am very ignorant of all of this, but doesn't one have to give one's birth date to the credit card or online payment system? So wouldn't the `better` overreach of government be to have the payment processors block payments if the item or service being purchased is not appropriate for the card owner?<br>

There are many topics they should teach but don't. Personal finance being at the top of the list, IMHO: how loans and credit works, how to set a budget, why you should plan for emergency expenditures, etc...<br>

20 years ago there was a TV show called _Las Vegas_ where some of the main characters worked in the security center of a casino. While I'm sure that the show overplayed the security aspect (like doing real-time facial recognition taken from the feed of a security camera that is positioned 50 feet away) a bit, I probably still would be amazed at what a high-stakes security center like that can do.<br>
