Adult sites are perfectly legal.
Also US is a very religious country (some parts) compared to other western nations. So that’s where some of this comes from.
- peterwwillis 8y agoIt's really just the moralistic people pressuring advertisers. Minors can find a way to get their hands on a Playboy, but we don't stop selling Playboy in shops just because that can happen. People interact online through a select few pieces of tech: smart phone apps, Facebook, Instagram, Tumblr, Twitter. Just saying "adult sites exist" is like telling people to drive over to the wrong side of town and shuffle into a seedy porn theater. The malware-laced pop-up ads, and the lack of creative, multifaceted sexual expression, is what happens when you effectively banish a form a culture from the commons.
- sincerely 8y agoThe issue wasn't that minors were looking at the porn but that there was a lot of porn of minors on Tumblr.
