4Chan responds to £520,000 Ofcom fine with AI picture of hamster - Lemmy.zip

> The fine includes £450,000 for lack of age checks to prevent children from seeing pornography.

I noticed 4chan is not doing age verification checks, even though they host pornographic content.
Kids always learn how to get around those checks. Even back in my day when there were very few sites that had checks, I quickly found my way around them, and for a millennial I’m considered barely computer litterate. I’m certainly no hacker by any means. I won’t even pirate shit, cause I don’t trust myself not to fuck something up. Like the whole ID thing? Id just grab dads ID if it doesn’t require a credit card.
so does steam, who the fuck cares.
Steam does age verification though

…insert a random date that isnt stored, zero actual verification

it’s the same as doing nothing

Do you live in a region that requires it by law? Because steam enforces it there, not just a dropdown box.

Yes, and Steam decided to just block all pornographic content instead of complying.
