In May, a woman in Kansas sued Chaturbate, claiming that it was the site’s fault that her teenage son found her old laptop unlocked in a closet and used it to access porn without age verification in place.
Sounds like a parenting problem to me, but go ahead and blame porn. People like this should have to pay the legal fees of the defendants. Would anti-slapp (or whatever it’s called) apply here?
“Neal Barber, who was hired by Bayside Support Services and Multi Media LLC—the parent company of Chaturbate—in 2020”
Holy crap, moderators get PAID??!?!?
Not stream moderators, but the actual site moderators.
They don’t do it for free…?
People like this should have to pay the legal fees of the defendants.
iirc, in the US at least, you can sue the people suing you to recomp lawyer fees.
Well you kinda knew what you were getting into so I have no sympathy. How would you not expect to see fucked up shit? Sweet summer child.
I think it’s naive to believe that people aren’t naive.
There’s a difference between being naive and a dumbass. The website has been known for problems for the entire existence of it. This guy’s a dumbass. If he didn’t wanna see gore and CP he shouldn’t of been a porn site mod…
Will see what you gonna say after you get in a similar situation but without porn.
I’m Canadian, I can just go get help…
Again though I’d say this guy knew what he was gonna be seeing, and if he didn’t he’s a dumbass.

The case you’ve quoted is not the same one as the focus of the article.

Not only that, most of the article is behind a paywall

This is literally the one site whose journalism every Lemming should support

But it is from the article and therefore relevant.

It might be slightly relevant but that doesn’t mean that the way you posted it wasn’t disingenuous. How does it being causally mentioned in the article make it relevant enough that it somehow became the entirety of the main body of your post?
