"That’s why Ukie strongly supports the use of robust classification systems like PEGI across all platforms, including those hosting adult or experimental content," the statement reads. "We believe payment providers and platforms alike should have confidence in trusted age rating systems and the enforcement mechanisms behind them."

    Collective Shout, the anti-p*rnography pressure group

    Did they seriously censor their own article, on their own website

    Why talk to them at all? They don’t give a shit, “Jesus” “told them” to do what they’re doing

    Because talking is legal.

    You shouldn't bombard those people with emails or phone calls or order pizza without toppings/cheese. Don't harass them and make their life miserable, don't ruin something they enjoy. Don't use OSINT to find more about them and certainly don't ask "where is your god now?" when they break down crying. Don't clog their systems with trashdata. Just don't raid them.

    Talk with them in a civilized manner. Look at human history and you will see that every conflict can be settled if you are just willing to use words and nothing else.

    An admirable sentiment, but I feel like you and I read very different history books.

    Or the two of you have very different ideas in how to read text as sarcasm or honest opinions.

    Why do payment processors have to be concerned with age ratings at all?

    They probably are worried about litigation, and shareholder profits. It's always about shareholder profits.

    Nah, neither take works for 'em. Litigation? Being neutral bypasses all threats of bias. Profits? Porn is the only reason the internet took off as a profitable venture.

    I'd bet some top dogs bowed to a little pressure for fear of bad publicity. That's how these tiny religious groups threaten. That's all the juice they got. And who's going to stand up and say, "Nah. Fuck yourself. We want our porn."

    Well, I guess we all did stand up! (Do I still need to make calls, or is this thing done?)

    Because nobody will ban that legally, and people paying for adult stuff themselves naturally have made a decision.

    So these people (the Russian word is pidor) are trying to sneak a block someplace else.

    Surfing porn on Google vs. Bing is an eye opening experience.

    Google: "Fuck it all up. We don't want to be seen as a porn engine."

    Microsoft: "How do we beat Google in search?!"

    "Make porn pics and images easy?"

    Worked!

    But then you get weird shit. One day searching "tiny titties" gets you no NSFW results, the next it's flooded with 9yo Russian kids. "Flat chested"? Meh, one day it's "flats", the shoes, the next, 9yo Russian kids again. Fuck me. I like little titties, OK?! I just want to see them on women. Preferably "asian amateur lesbian cosplay tiny titty white lingerie face sitting lesdom wedding dress" kinda women. Is that too much to ask?! I was told this was the future. :(

    Imagine 4k people sending 4k emails to 6 employees

    They, understandably, don't list their emails but I doubt they're impossible to find
