MODERATORS
But overall, enforcement causes nearly half of users to stop searching for popular adult sites complying with laws and instead search for a noncompliant rival (48 percent) or virtual private network (VPN) services (34 percent), which are used to mask a location and circumvent age checks on preferred sites, the study found.
what a fucking surprise. now the teens only watch porn that is already skirting around laws just by virtue of existing. truly nobody could've ever imagined this would happen
jesus christ i'm so tired of stupid politicians
"a world in which some kids are likely to be harmed by the laws designed to protect them."
These laws are 100% not designed to protect them.
I thought we solved this for good in the 80s?
I guess that particular question didn't age so well.
D works well. Being dead puts you in a decent "no one to fool with" category.
Fucker cant even do a prat fall at this point.
Strange headline to say that credit card payments as age gates are trending again. Reddit has nothing to do with it.
Stranger still to make the headline about one small paragraph in the middle of the piece that was clearly an aside.
kids had to swipe their parents' credit cards or find a fraudulent number online to access adult content on the web.
Umm no they didnt. Free porn was a thing even in the 90s, and some porn sites used 900 numbers you had to dial into and pay by the minute on your phone bill.
