Everything on the internet is easily accessible by kids if the parents aren't doing any supervision.
It’s not the same, porn you have to search out. They’re already on twitch for other reasons and are far more likely to be suggested/shown more vulgar content like “artistic nudity”.
If they can google search for twitch, they can google search for porn. They already know. I mean, come on, you were 14 once.
If they cant google search for twitch, then they shouldnt be able to change the channel to boobie streams for the same reason they shouldnt be able to change to any other non-kid-friendly stream. Thats part of being responsible as a parent.
I dunno, this doesnt seem like that big of a deal.
i kinda agree, but i seen like youtube kids, where kids that don't know how to search spend the day there, or not actually, twitch never marked for the same kids that youtube kids has counted for, hmmm, idk
This is the double standard I hate so much about violence / porn / swearing.
Kids are watching ultra violent game streams? No one gives a shit.
The second a bad word has been said on a stream or a bit of nudity is shown, people are losing their god damn minds.
Short explanation of part of my issue with it:
There's a big, important difference between watching violence in video games/movies and watching a cartel execution or someone being run over on LiveLeak.
There's also a significant difference between "a bit of nudity", even contextually appropriate full frontal, and eroticism.
Kids probably shouldn't be watching ultra violent games, but that doesn't mean porn being accessible for minors is not a far more dangerous problem. There is no double standard, because these are two different things. Porn is neurologically addictive. This is an established medical fact. Exposing a minor to more and more sexualized subjects is what groomers do. Interacting with strangers sexually over the internet is not something that should be normalized for children.
