I noticed 4chan is not doing age verification checks, even though they host pornographic content.

Steam does age verification though

…insert a random date that isnt stored, zero actual verification
it’s the same as doing nothing

Do you live in a region that requires it by law? Because steam enforces it there, not just a dropdown box.

Kids always learn how to get around those checks. Even back in my day when there were very few sites that had checks, I quickly found my way around them, and for a millennial I’m considered barely computer litterate. I’m certainly no hacker by any means. I won’t even pirate shit, cause I don’t trust myself not to fuck something up. Like the whole ID thing? Id just grab dads ID if it doesn’t require a credit card.

My parents’ porn VHS collection didn’t ask for my age and neither did my grand-dad’s titty magazines hidden in the tractor shed. Internet wasn’t even a thing for most people then yet I had already seen plenty of porn before I turned 10.
It clearly did affect me and I don’t deny that but I doubt it would’ve made much of a difference had I have to wait untill I was 18 for the flood gates to open. Nobody would’ve seen me for months if that was the case.
