It said the platforms also do not appear to be abiding by requirements for porn sites to use age verification tools to protect children from accessing adult content.
Good, no implementation of this not privacy nightmare.
It comes amid wider scrutiny of online pornography services worldwide, with many regulators looking to crack down on those that do not have age verification in place.
HAHAHA good luck with 1 billion head hydra.
I do not think politicians know what children see on Roblox

I honestly feel that this falls into parental responsibility. Both Android and iPhone comes with parental controls and the same is true for browsers on computers.
Android example:
iPhone example:
It’s a search away to find step-by-step guides for this stuff, so you don’t even need to know how to do it yourself.
Years ago the .xxx TLD was introduced for adult websites. If we’re going to regulate adult sites. Why not require them to use .xxx for their domains and let parental controls do the rest?
Because that’s not authoritarian enough.

Shit. Dark but fair.

We’re not taking about security. We’re taking about unsupervised children seeing boobies.

You’re not wrong. But if I had to pick between blocking .xxx on my kid’s device or uploading a photo of my ID to various porn sites, I know which one I’m choosing.

It makes no sense that the age limit is 18 when most European country’s age of consent is lower than 18. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Age_of_consent_in_Europe
Holly shit. At least I’m not in the worst EU country, but second worst, really? I thought it was 18.
Uh ? What’s wrong about that ? These are basically generalized romeo&Juliet laws.
The highlighted age is that from which a young person can lawfully engage in a non-commercial sexual act with an older person, regardless of their age difference. If a participant in a sexual act is under 18 but above the age of consent then sexual acts with another person who is at or over the age of consent may still be illegal if the older participant is in a position of authority over the younger person.
Despite what the text says, here in France, being over 18 while the other person is not can often be enough to be considered in a position of authority btw
European here, they’re that low because our politicians fear they might piss off their pedophillic donors (rich white people), and many citizens think it’s like for a close-in-age thing.
