        Maybe, but that doesn’t matter since automated age verification doesn’t work. Kids always figure out ways to bypass it, and it snares unlucky adults all the time.

        Yeah, that’s why you monitor what the kids you’re responsible for are doing on the internet. It’s trivial to setup parental controls on a network.

        Hell naw, that’s an arbitrary take. There’s no “child things” or “adult things”, nor “male things” or “female things”, just things, and the “male”/“female”/“child”/“adult” is an arbitary tag we put on them.

        And even if there are some things that aren’t so good for the child to see, the only correct way to address that is educating them, guiding them, listening to them and, over all, treating them as humans, the “we need to block this to children” is totally adultist.

          That’s what people mean by “not all stuff is for kids”

            No, “not all stuff is for kids” means “kids should never watch this”, and what I’m saying is “kids can see this with the appropiate tutoring and supervision”, these are two really distinct things.

              I think it’s more “we should try to get kids see less of this”, nobody thinks laws about age restrictions gets them all, that’s just unrealistic
