Sounds like unsupervised internet access is the problem to me.

It's much easier to supervise if you don't have to limit individually by each site's implementation of child control mechanics and can make some gross assumptions about worst case exposure and how bad it can get if they accidentally click the wrong link due to momentary inattentiveness. The adult version is all the work that the admins and moderators due to keep lemmy free from gore/sexually explicit/even worse bullshit spam in NSFW, why suddenly ignore it for some categories of porn, and potentially directed at children no less?

We can end this discussion and just accept that Twitch should begin to identify itself as an adult only streaming platform, if you want. I don't know if that's fair to streamers who struggle to make family friend NSFW content, but the access to porn they can already find on services that explicitly identify themselves as adult only seems to be important enough for people.

Then end it. It's been clear that twitch isn't appropriate for unsupervised children from the jump.

Then we are in agreement. Unfortunately, raising its 13+ year old requirement to adult only is really only up to Twitch.

Children don't listen to age requirements on sites anyway. It's up to parents to monitor what they're doing online.
