And so it begins. How long until Lemmy will be forced to verify age?

I'll run VPN through Djibouti for everything once that happens.

Connect to Djibouti to see the booty

I went to early elementary school with a girl from Djibouti. I went home to look up Djibouti in an ancient encyclopedia program. Probably one of the earlier Microsoft Encarta versions, and earned that Djibouti has the best national anthem.

Won't someone think of the children

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?

First they came for the porn...

...and no one gave a fuck

Then they came for influencers ...

[–] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 13 points 15 hours ago

Any society that prioritizes getting rid of porn before influencers deserves to be buried in rubble.

... And we still didn't care

Then they came for the cat videos ...

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.
