      That’s a good point, but for any media. The problem is identifying something a child can watch and letting them watch it and because of a spur of the moment oversight find them watching something they shouldn’t be because they are not mature enough yet, and the same but having it devolve to extremes. It’s just not that difficult to set up a different domain/service name for it and making it easier for parents.

        No, my point is specifically for twitch and other streaming platforms.

        If you let your kid on twitch, and you arent locking them in to a pre vetted list of known safe channels, youre letting them expose themselves to far far worse shit than porn.

        In the same way that if you let your kid watch netflix or HBO, you dont open the streaming app, hand them the remote, and walk off. You pick the channels or movies they can choose from.

        Other media is typically pre crunched into known safety levels. Twitch is a way to watch things, not a thing you watch.

          I consider the risk on those platforms much less, and if they begun hosting hardcore porn I would consider only other platforms. Netflix and HBO implement parental controls and involve fixed runtime content, whereas Twitch involves real-time streams and widely differing types of moderation where streamers may be involved in safe and non-safe content, and it lacks the ease of the parental controls of the services you’ve mentioned.

          Why do you consider forcing all that micromanagement to parents easier than just moving porn to another domain or under another brand?

            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?
