This brings up some interesting legal points, which could affect the whole of the internet:
1). Minors can't sign off on any "unpaid-photographer" release form.
Where companies get this idea is pure fabrication.
2). Minors can't sign off on "self-tracking" consent.
By default, most smartphones/etc. automatically attach .exif location metadata to photographs.
So, either those companies have to get rid of using others photos and storing data, or there would need to be age verification used to access the internet...making all usage (even more) trackable by even more private entities.
