So, I've told you a story about a teenage boy, hanging out in a lolicon thread on 4chan, openly sexualising his CHILD sister (IIRC age 9 or 10 was mentioned, I specifically said \"child sister\" for a reason) and you're saying this is NOT necessarily a clear indication of serious danger, instead talking about \"peeping tom humor\" and going off about some abstract bullshit about privacy and boundaries?
I tell you about others in the thread, presumably a mix of teenage boys and adult men up to their 30s and even possibly 40s and beyond, turning this into a joke and encouraging him to upload pictures, and you equate this with \"boys will be boys\"?
I don't know what kind of brain damage one must have to respond like this. Injury from too much mental gymnastics? \"Books and media\" is indeed a very cute euphemism for \"hardcore pornography, and drawings that sexualize children.\"

If that happens, we should complain about that. To complain about an OS offering the *feature* of setting a user DoB is silly. It's like saying an OS shouldn't have an audio stack because what if the government uses it to spy on people's private conversations. An optional DoB field that allows applications to query it and block access to websites that advertise a minimum age via an HTTP header, is just a very simple feature that increases freedom by giving parents more capabilities.
> The age of the user is none of the websites business and would allow for enhanced spying - such malicious feature must never be implemented.
The browser doesn't have to tell any website the user's age. All that happens is that the HTTP response includes a header such as \"Min-User-Age: 18\" and then maybe the client happens not to make any additional HTTP requests to the server because the user was blocked, and the server can't even tell this apart from the case of the user deciding to close the tab after looking around on the front page.

This is silly. Parents are often busy, burnt out, etc. and may get some well deserved respite while the kid is surfing the web to watch silly Mr. Beast videos (OK, maybe those should also be blocked, but you get the point) or playing Fortnite with friends. Sorry, of course I mean Freenite, since the kid shouldn't be using proprietary games, but you get the point. Kids can also use the web for research.
> I am dubious of that claim - most of the revenue seems to come from adults, who have a credit card, that are stupid enough to actually pay.
I've had an LLM generate some slop since I'm lazy (see screenshot) and it claims that up to 25-30% of the total industry revenue is still from ads. It's not unreasonable to think that ad revenue from minor site visitors accounts for up to 5% of the total revenue of the entire industry. That's enough to make them not want to do anything against it. Why would a soulless corporation willingly give up a few percent of its revenue for some moral reason that's not enforced?

A lot of porn is very violent, and sexual gratification is a huge dopamine hit. Mix in bad parenting \/ immoral family values and you get an extremely dangerous person. There are cases out there in which minor teenage boys are gang-raping little children, forcing the victim to perform acts they saw in porn. It's hell out here, and porn is making it worse.

Nothing malicious: Just a more feature-rich free software system, completely under the control of the owner of the computer, so parents gain additional capabilities to prevent their kids from accessing harmful content. And even when the parents use it, the age of the kid doesn't even need to be revealed to any server; the server just passively informs the client of the age limit and then everything is handled silently at the client side.

This is already a slippery slope fallacy. And even if the field were non optional during account creation, it would at most be a minor inconvenience to enter \"01.01.1970\" when you don't want to fill in your real DoB.
> Such proprietary restrictions should not be implemented - parents should be responsible for ensuring their children don't browse proprietary porn, not the OS.
Nothing proprietary about a simple data field in the user database whose value the admin has control over.
This could be a very simple way for parents to take that responsibility: Setting up a separate account for the kid with the kid's DoB (or approximate DoB if you're paranoid) so web browsers can tell visited websites whether the user's age is >= N.
What else do you expect of the parents? Not let their 14 year old ever use a web browser unsupervised? Set up a much more sophisticated parental control system that 99% of parents don't have the skill to set up?
DoB in OS user account is so dirt easy (with web browser and websites cooperating to block access to porn etc.) that I'm now honestly wondering why this was never done before. This should have been a standard feature in any desktop OS since 40 years ago.
It wouldn't surprise me if one of the main reasons this was never considered before is that porn sites aren't willing to cooperate. They know that a good portion of their ad revenue comes from minors so they don't want anything more than a simple \"are you 18\" popup -- which they ideally don't want either, and always make as easy to skip as possible, like with a big green YES button and no explanation or warning to kids about the fact that they could become addicted or develop a taste for violent or degrading content or the like.
> Popups asking if you're 18 actually does turn away some kids.
Let's not kid ourselves. But sure, even 0.001% is technically \"some.\"
> Asking for a specific DoB is not even needed for such restrictions - all is really needed is birth year or birth year and month.
And there's nothing preventing the admin from entering 01 as the day, or day and month. The admin can decide just how approximate they want the data to be. Could round up or down to half year, quarter, etc. Just make the field a standard Y\/M\/D field and the admin has full control.

LOL, come on. It really doesn't matter who commits a piece of code, if the code itself is harmless.
The more I think about it, the more I like the idea of desktop OSs having a DoB field in user accounts, and a standard API for web browsers to access it, and a standard Web API for saying \"user age >= N\" like with an HTTP header.
Tech savvy kids will still bypass it but compared to the 0.01% coverage of \"are you 18\" popups it would be a massive improvement at zero privacy cost so long as it's optional \/ without external enforcement of accuracy.","generator":{"id":"tag:gnusocial.jp,2026-07-16:notice-source:ActivityPub","objectType":"application","status_net":{"source_code":"ActivityPub"}},"id":"https:\/\/fedi.feministwiki.org\/objects\/1a64d032-243d-4be2-b674-bb30ecd3b4c3","object":{"id":"https:\/\/fedi.feministwiki.org\/objects\/1a64d032-243d-4be2-b674-bb30ecd3b4c3","objectType":"note","content":"@Suiseiseki<\/a> @yrrsinn<\/a> @cy<\/a> @jpaskaruk<\/a>

Tech savvy kids will still bypass it but compared to the 0.01% coverage of \"are you 18\" popups it would be a massive improvement at zero privacy cost so long as it's optional \/ without external enforcement of accuracy.","url":"https:\/\/fedi.feministwiki.org\/objects\/1a64d032-243d-4be2-b674-bb30ecd3b4c3","status_net":{"notice_id":null},"inReplyTo":{"objectType":"note","id":"https:\/\/freesoftwareextremist.com\/objects\/20ddb789-4654-42bb-ab54-5d59f64a850b","url":"https:\/\/freesoftwareextremist.com\/objects\/20ddb789-4654-42bb-ab54-5d59f64a850b"}},"to":[{"objectType":"http:\/\/activitystrea.ms\/schema\/1.0\/person","id":"https:\/\/freesoftwareextremist.com\/users\/Suiseiseki"},{"objectType":"http:\/\/activitystrea.ms\/schema\/1.0\/person","id":"https:\/\/growers.social\/users\/jpaskaruk"},{"objectType":"http:\/\/activitystrea.ms\/schema\/1.0\/person","id":"https:\/\/fedicy.us.to\/cy"},{"objectType":"http:\/\/activitystrea.ms\/schema\/1.0\/person","id":"https:\/\/chaos.social\/users\/yrrsinn"},{"objectType":"http:\/\/activitystrea.ms\/schema\/1.0\/collection","id":"http:\/\/activityschema.org\/collection\/public"}],"status_net":{"conversation":"tag:gnusocial.jp,2026-03-23:objectType=thread:nonce=00e7b7f3427ab032","notice_info":{"local_id":"12337776","source":"ActivityPub"}},"published":"2026-03-23T13:46:34+00:00","provider":{"objectType":"service","displayName":"GNU social JP","url":"https:\/\/gnusocial.jp\/"},"verb":"post","url":"https:\/\/fedi.feministwiki.org\/objects\/1a64d032-243d-4be2-b674-bb30ecd3b4c3"},{"actor":{"id":"https:\/\/freesoftwareextremist.com\/users\/Suiseiseki","displayName":"\u7fe0\u661f\u77f3","status_net":{"avatarLinks":[{"url":"https:\/\/gnusocial.jp\/avatar\/789-96-20220724040913.webp","rel":"avatar","type":"image\/webp","width":96,"height":96},{"url":"https:\/\/gnusocial.jp\/avatar\/789-48-20220724040913.webp","rel":"avatar","type":"image\/webp","width":48,"height":48},{"url":"https:\/\/gnusocial.jp\/avatar\/789-24-20220724040913.webp","rel":"avatar","type":"image\/webp","width":24,"height":24}],"profile_info":{"local_id":"789"}},"image":{"url":"https:\/\/gnusocial.jp\/avatar\/789-96-20220724040913.webp","rel":"avatar","type":"image\/webp","width":96,"height":96},"objectType":"person","summary":"[[[ To any NSA, CIA & FBI agents reading my profile;

The chance of addiction is pretty much exactly the same as addiction to anything else.

Your age is a large privacy cost - that data point alone can narrow things down massively and allow you to be precisely identified when combined with other metadata.
