"the site should really include a page confirming that the user is over 18 before redirecting them"
Yes, because 16 year old boys who searched for porn are going to click no when asked if they're over 18.
- allenbrunson 18y agoThe redirect he was suggesting wasn't to thwart 16-year-old boys from finding porn. It would be to make sure you don't accidentally stumble into something you don't want via a fat-fingered search query.

- mattmaroon 18y agoI'm going to hope that pun (porn and xxx being fat-fingered) was unintentional.
- axod 18y agoone handed typing can be hard :/
- anuraggoel 18y agoWouldn't such a confirmation be needed purely for legal reasons?
- mattmaroon 18y agoI'm not a lawyer, but my guess would be no since it's merely a link to a third party. I'd guess the third party has the responsibility to ask that question. On the other hand, I'm not a lawyer.
- anuraggoel 18y agoOn the third-party point, I think that's the reason they say: "(there seems to be no such confirmation found on at least some of the redirected porn sites)."
- jrockway 18y agoIt's probably time for this Depression-era law to go away. I don't think there's a single person on earth that's waited until age 18 to look at porn. Why criminalize it?
