When I was 8, I remember being bored and curious and touching a lot of parents stuff… phones… wallets… legal documents…

Most parents don’t put their stuff in safes…

Like… THE WALLET IS RIGHT THERE… I COULD JUST GRAB IT!

If they had age verification stuff back then… I could’ve just… quickly snap a pic of their ID and just YOLO it…

    Always? Bullshit.

    There’s the black and white thinking again. How often have you ended up looking at an unregulated adult site by accident? How much effort have you had to put in to find them over finding regulated ones?

    Even among adults the substitution isn’t perfect, as the article says. Even more so for children, who aren’t, on average, as motivated nor as knowledgeable.
