Delta Air Lines worker swiped kid’s lost iPad and uploaded explicit videos of himself, lawsuit claims

[Maximilian_Jenius]

Not that many years ago you could watch pornhub without logging in to anything. Free unlimited access to anyone with access to internet and knew how to spell pornhub in a google search.

Today there are now 25 states that have laws that prohibit that kind of access.

And yet;

"....age verification laws have been condemned by adult websites who argue they’re part of a larger anti-sex political movement. They’ve also garnered opposition from groups that advocate for digital privacy and free speech, including the Electronic Frontier Foundation. The group has argued that it is impossible to ensure websites don’t retain user data, regardless of whether age verification laws require they delete it. Samir Jain, vice president of policy at the nonprofit Center for Democracy & Technology, said the court’s decision on age verification “does far more than uphold an incidental burden on adults’ speech. It overturns decades of precedent and has the potential to upend access to First Amendment-protected speech on the internet for everyone, children and adults alike.” “Age verification requirements still raise serious privacy and free expression concerns,” Jain added. “If states are to go forward with these burdensome laws, age verification tools must be accurate and limit collection, sharing, and retention of personal information, particularly sensitive information like birthdate and biometric data.”"

What to know about online age verification laws

The Supreme Court has upheld a Texas law aimed at blocking children under 18 from seeing online pornography by verifying people’s ages online.

The other 25 states its still the girls gone wild west. For everyone.

Well, obviously I'm against minors having access to pornography. Also gonna guess that some of those who're anti age verification are probably corporate, that don't want their viewership and subscriptions numbers i.e. profits to drop. While also wanting gateway users from childhood to adulthood. Porn is annually a multi billion dollar industry. Like Pokemon, gotta catch em all. Early, in this case.

By which you’re implying that there are people advocating for children to have unlimited access to porn.

I’d have ask for your sources on that one.





(If there are such sources I’d offer odds that they’re “christo-nationalistic” in nature.)

Nobody wants kids to access adult entertainment material. What we’re all wary of is more nanny state censorship disguised as “protecting the children” when that stuff should be parents’ responsibility. Because just look at what’s happening in libraries, there’s no way it would stop with porn.

But, we’re arguing with a guy who thinks the world is 10,000 years old and that RFK is on the right track with vaccines, so rational discussion is out the window.

I don't know what you're talking about. I'm forty-nine, there has always been age verification requirements to create an account on a porn site. This isn't anything new.

What is this account thing you speak of? Do you upload content? Otherwise, I don’t get it. I haven’t paid for porn since the Compuserve era.

Who pays for porn??? Only Fans enters the chat, lol.

But no, seriously, most sites are free, but its better to have an account, IMO. When you create an account they ask for age verification.

If I thought such measures would significantly reduce kids accessing porn, I’d verify.

What age verification is really doing is forcing kids to venture towards shady search results or watch porn on X where they can connect privately with adults sharing or reposting porn.

Told ya.

Unrestricted access is the only way because libraries or something.

Freely available pr0n has been around far earlier than the internet.

Besides, who in their right mind lets their kid under the age of 18 loose on the internet. That would be as dumb as my parents saying when I got locked in the house during one of their road trips: “Don’t watch Cinemax and your surely shouldn’t watch Debbie Does Dallas or WE’RE GONNA BE MAD!”

Shut it down when you can’t monitor it with your under 18’s unless, of course, they’re heavily invested in VPN companies.

Hell, I was looking around at m3u’s for foreign television and holy cow, the free repositories of unrestricted live-streaming spicy channels is shocking. The war on content control is already lost.

There was a time when companies would sell products that restricted most of the internet from websites an algorithm determined to be unsafe, or outright banned most of it except for some commonly browsed “safe sites”. Jetcareers has been on and off those ‘naughty lists’ for years and I had to jump through a lot of hoops to prove that it wasn’t an adult content website. Or my favorite were the NatNanny software that was “recommended by a particular church” that actually extorted webmasters for fees to remove their sites from the list in order to “verify safety” I mean, extort money.


I do think it’s the parents responsibility to set and actively monitor limits if the child has problematic viewing habits. At the end of the day, in today’s America, it’s easy to say “We’re going to ban naughty websites” and suspiciously slip in news stations, political blogs and other websites that report information contrary to the New American Authoritarian Government.

If you had a porn section, I wouldn’t need Google.

I'll say we caught (actually his older brother snitched on him) our youngest having googled "naked girls" on my wife's laptop that he was supposedly doing something wholesome on. Lesson learned. Obviously I'm not an insane person who would blame the internet for this. I wish I had the internet when I was his age. Instead it was crumpled up pages from a penthouse from a friend's dad's secret stash that we buried underground in this field between our houses in a fake Pepsi soda can from the defunct Seattle area "spy store". If anyone manages to break into my house, that •in can still exists, and houses van driver dolla bills for the next century.........you're welcome.

When I was a kid, I would borrow an issue of Playboy from my dad’s collection in the attic. I think my dad knew but didn’t really care as Playboy just had nude women and some pretty good articles. When he found my stash included a Penthouse I got from a friend, my father was upset because it took things to the next level, sexually.

These days, kids see too damn much, kids know too damn much. When my daughter was about 16, I overheard her and a friend discuss 50 Shades of Gray. I was pleased that my daughter understood consensual sex vs sexual assault and presented a feministic perspective on porn. I was proud she got a bunch of stuff right but was shocked what she knew. The Internet and pop culture steals the innocence of our kids.

Cmon Doug, even you know there’s no way to realistically limit the internet without going full draconian measures. It’s not the family computer that’s the issue now.

I'm going to be the stick in the mud and say Playboy had some pretty good written articles and because I was a voracious consumer of written things I'd look beyond the pictures and actually read the words on the pages that didn't feature naked young women. The problem was I wasn't up to date, in the olden days you either found porn in a bush or a friends dad had a stack of Playboys tucked away in his nightstand, maybe you got a scrambled nipple on cable occasionally and that was it. I'll happily say I used to actually read the articles in Playboy and it might've been more stimulating than the centerfold. That was my experience.
