Just an another HTTP header, flagging if user is an adult. Set it to False if OS reports that the account used has parental controls enabled.

This is just meant to keep children out, not protect state secrets.

    I wouldn't call it a hobby, just some entertainment to pass the time/hang out with friends.

    It was Counter-Strike 1.6. I didn't leave the house the summer I discovered it as a kid.

    "It's capitalism" is an unsatisfying explanation because one the one hand it's sort of trivially true, but on the other, good movies have been made under capitalism.

    But you went to watch a blockbuster. These are made to make money above all else. You just aren't the target demographic.

    Additionally, I can't really understand why are dynamically linked libraries so popular and how on earth anyone who ever had a ".dll / .so not found" error thinks this is a good idea.

    1. You can load a DLL once and all programs can share it, saving memory. It also makes programs start faster since the DLL might be already loaded, so there's less to load from disk. That mattered more back in the 90s
    2. You can update one file and have the patch apply to all programs
