Requiring age verification for porn is such a stupid idea. Firstly, what's the definition of "porn"? Should people be blocked from looking at Michelangelo's David? Where precisely is the line between what's porn and what isn't, and why should anybody have the right to impose that? Secondly, it's unenforceable. On any website where people can submit content, they can submit porn that children might see. Should we block them all, then? That goes for all social media. It goes for anywhere people can leave comments/reviews. It goes for every basket-weaving forum. Since it's obviously impossible to make a dent, why bother at all? And what about Google Images? What about sites with generative AI? Websites aren't the only porn on the Internet either. I torrented porn when I was 13. Discord exists. Video games exist. What's stopping people just making their own and sharing it? Absolutely boneheaded idea. It's so stupid, that it makes me think the real reason is more nefarious, and "saving the children" is just propaganda.

That's a good point. I was dating a girl who said her ex would only get off of feet. Feet fetish is kinda huge (i think) so feet IS someone's porn, while for other people it's just feet, or more so just gross.

Reminds me of this YouTube channel (@Flocflocus), where a guy soaks himself in water while clothed. It's not explicitly sexual, but I'd be surprised if it wasn't a fetish.

Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
