      Oh for sure. It’s a very complicated problem and a lot of people are invested in allowing the abuse to continue (otherwise ph would have been prosecuted and shut down).

      I don’t agree that age gating is simple. Not only can people lie, but handling different jurisdictions is complicated af.

      My reaction was more to the specific complaint than the mechanism. I definitely appreciate how hard any of this is to implement with stuff on the internet.
