You mean, besides the fact that your kids are your responsibility, and not everyone elses?

Or beyond the fact that netflix has the same level of softcore content, and HBO has far far far worse sexual and non sexual content?

Do I need more reasons beyond those?

Fortunately for most parents, most governments disagree. They realize it's a society problem. But I really hope that they eventually catch up with this type of bullshit in the Internet industry. I know that Steam and other services have begun to get flak for it, specially in countries like Germany.

Click. On. Another. Fucking. Link/Brand. It's not that hard.


Thank f-ing god that this thread is nowhere near representative of the real world: https://techcrunch.com/2023/12/15/twitch-rolls-back-artistic-nudity-sexual-content-policy-ai-nudes/

If you need the government to pick what your kids are able to watch, you shouldnt have kids mate

If you diss and fail to understand why there is government regulation surrounding it all because you dealing with adult only websites is too difficult for you, it's less a case of shouldn't and more of a case of mustn't for you, bud.

So you think HBO should be an adult only space? With stricter regulations?

[–] AMillionNames 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The same sort of legislation that the GDPR applies penalties with for not giving users controls over their ads could be adopted and applied to create a standardized form of parental controls of sites over the Internet, but until that happens, people can benefit from keeping explicit adult porn websites and services separate from the rest of their offering and forcing the rest of their offering to implement easy to implement parental controls if necessary.

Answer the question mate.

Do you believe HBO should be labeled and treated as an adult only site or app due to the content it provides?

[–] AMillionNames 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I did, I just avoided your disingenuous attempt at controlling the narrative by fishing for particular answers and applied it universally. You can answer it yourself from there, big boy.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You dropped a run on sentence about regulating the entire internet. My question had nothing to do with the internet at large.

Is HBO content adult only or not?

We both know youre hiding from the question because you want to have your cake and eat it too.
