Ungoogleable adj.--Describes a concept that cannot be found using lesser, inferior, and possibly hazardous search engines, but readily available using Google's superior technology; nothing is impossible for Google, your new best friend! Sign up for Google+ today!

Organizations have a hard enough time explaining to their adult employees how to avoid phishing scams and the like, and they have knowledgeable professionals doing the training. It is wholly unrealistic to expect one or two individual parents to be able to adequately protect the privacy and information security of minors against entities that have the drive and resources of Facebook.

SimCity was the tipping point.

I sincerely doubt it. Ultimately, EA's problem with SimCity was that they had too many paying customers. That's generally not something shareholders or board members would be terribly displeased by.

There's no real indication that EA's bottom line is hurting regardless, let alone what it would be caused by.
