Second Life says its virtual world is adults-only
Agence France-Presse
SAN FRANCISCO -- Linden Lab said Monday that its popular virtual world Second Life -- where activities include sex and gambling -- is strictly adults-only.
The statement by the creator of an Internet world where people live vicariously via customized three-dimensional animated figures came after L'association Familles de France accused it of letting children cavort in a virtual land rife with grown-up vices.
A Linden spokesman said the San Francisco company had not been contacted by the association so could not comment specifically about the complaint.
"However, Second Life is a platform strictly for adults [ages 18 and older], and Linden Lab enforces strict measures to prevent access by minors," the company said in a response to an Agence France-Presse inquiry.
