An Attorney General sent an email or letter to this youtube user who reviews different pipe tobaccos and cigars urging him to put an age limit on his videos so minors can't watch them (like they wouldn't just create an account with a fake age).
This one letter by itself isn't really a problem (probably more of a waste), but it is only the beginning. The government works by using incrementalism to get their way. It will start off as a letter and over the years there will very likely be laws passed to limit the freedom that the internet allows. It is really no different than gun rights. They start off by advocating what would seem like minor things to the masses, then slowly work their way up to full blown control. It is happening with Healthcare, Gun rights, Welfare, taxation, police militarization, business regulation, and it will soon start really pumping up on the internet.
