Minors don't have 1st Amendment rights. The courts have settled this long ago.
That's nonsense. Yes they do and it was never "settled long ago." See video game bans, library book bans, black armband bans, etc. all upheld by SCOTUS. Free speech and the right to seek information is free speech. COPPA only exists because it hasn't been ruled on by the courts.
Authorities won't need to freeze RAM sticks anymore to extract encryption keys in memory when seizing servers?
Or drive a few miles around Manhattan.

Officials told The Daily Beast that a potential downside of the agency’s relinquishing control of the program was the loss of a decade of expertise that the CIA has developed since it has been prosecuting its war in Pakistan and beyond.
Yeah, they've been doing a real bang-up job so far.
Man who claims he posed as an underage minor for "privacy" protections is now in a lot of legal trouble. More details on what charges he faces and what you can do to protect your kids at 11.
Ableman v. Booth was a famous case where even the own authority of the federal courts were questioned, not by a southern state court but by Wisconsin! The Wisconsin Supreme Court didn't recognize the federal court's authority and let a guy who helped fugitive slaves to escape into Canada to evade US law enforcement. But the US Supreme Court, in their infinite wisdom, came to the brilliant conclusion that they were supreme.
Nice try Ron Paul.
