I’ve seen multiple requests for nsfw lemmy communities like reddit has. I live in Germany, and I think you are required to verify that the users that see porn content are above the age of 18. Does Lemmy has or plan to have a feature for that? Maybe this should be an issue on github?
Pornhub is proposing something that would be enforced on the browser/operating system level, and then the service providers would only need to specify the minimum age for a certain resource. While there are obvious limitations with this approach, it would work much better than the current approaches for distributed services.
That would be an interesting approach, but browsers are easily switched (to a “jailbroken” one) and I wouldn’t trust windows with such information… Linux would be fine, but I guess the linux community would at least be torn on this one (though I might ofc be wrong)
If you’re old enough to get around those controls, you’re old enough to view porn, frankly. It’s like a rite of passage that I went through 15 years ago… the parental controls were also much worse then, so it’s arguably more effective now.
