The aim of my original post was to provide some context around the comment, as I didn't see this elsewhere. I think the key issues here are around the funding model, and the impact on other privately funded startups with similar offerings. Hello Dan,

As I interpret it, they won't - at least not without heavy moderation. If you read the news story carefully, it doesn’t say that children will be able to interact directly with other children.
