    And what do you think happens when big platforms have to introduce age verification? People will just go to smaller unregulated sites which may inadvertently be worse because of malware risks and unregulated content. You just can’t take the porn out of the internet, people always find a way

      Yep, this is already happening with Pornhub in The States.

    I wonder why the EU didn’t find the parents of the kids to be in breach of whatever relevant child “protection” laws there are? I guess they are okay with the porn websites raising the kids. Maybe the EU can make PornHub to start a chain of day care centers?

    Despite stating in their Terms of Services that their services are for adults only, all four platforms allow minors to access their platforms by a simple click confirming they are over 18.

    That’s weird, I wonder why they did that? They’ve blocked traffic entirely from age-gated states. But in the EU they’re taking a stand of some sort?

    Let’s do a hot take though - zoomers or whatever newer gen is are so out of natural touch and wired into their doom scroll that they won’t even bother looking for porn.
