| I just received an email regarding the European Cyber Security Competition - Switzerland, Monday 19th - Friday 23rd October 2015. According to the email, there are two categories, Under 20's and 20 - 30 years of age. I believe competitions of this nature should be open to everyone regardless of their age, Is this blatant age discrimination? What are your thoughts? http://cybersecuritychallenge.org.uk/european-cyber-security-competition/ |

| The sponsors list shows they are making money while promoting this type of behavior. You definitely have room to complain. In the US I could lodge a complaint with the attorney generals office, I don't know if the UK has something similar. Of course this is complete ineptness and almost certainly not purposeful discrimination, but discrimination is discrimination. |
