      There wouldn’t be need of probing if the answer was so obvious, don’t you think?

        If that were what they were doing the probe for, sure!

        But that’s not what they are doing. You are making this claim that they have predatorial practices. The European Commission says they need to do more to comply with regulations.

        These two things are not the same.

          Yes, but I was answering the user whose only complain was about the parenting, which in my opinion is far down in the list of things to probe when we talk about children and porn websites

            I doubt its the only complaint, just the one relevant to this particular probe. Neither the probe nor the comments refer to any predatorial practices targeting children, only you are.

            Do you see why someone would wonder “what predatorial practices?” when the only claim is coming from you?

            I still dont see any indication of any of these major sites targeting children in any way.

            What I do see is a concern of ending up with the kind of nonsense laws that some states are pushing which require a user account and sharing a substantial amount of personal information for access to adult videos, which is a privacy nightmare. Much like this probe, “for the children!” was used as an excuse to effectively ban porn access from those states.

            Parenting is an effective countermeasure to the accessing and viewing of adult videos by those underage. Which is what that person was saying.

              You should then inform yourself before criticizing someone like you are doing if you think that is MY claim.

              Also parents should do their parenting, the EU should do their regulating and porn websites should do their complying.

              You can’t let porn websites do whatever they want only because the solution the EU will come up with will probably suck, be ineffective or ignored. It’s like letting tobacco companies free of selling tobacco to kids because it should be their parents responsibility to teach them.

              Totally fucked up corporatism.

                So nothing to do with the probe, the article linked, or anything to back up what you’re saying. Just posting irrelevant commentary, down voting when people point that out, and responding like a pompous jackass.

                Noted, thanks for the added user tag now applied to you!

                  And how has the parenting anything to do with the probe or the article and how is it backed up by anything more than your personal, irrelevant opinion? 🤣
