In May, a woman in Kansas sued Chaturbate, claiming that it was the site’s fault that her teenage son found her old laptop unlocked in a closet and used it to access porn without age verification in place.

Sounds like a parenting problem to me, but go ahead and blame porn. People like this should have to pay the legal fees of the defendants. Would anti-slapp (or whatever it’s called) apply here?

    Well you kinda knew what you were getting into so I have no sympathy. How would you not expect to see fucked up shit? Sweet summer child.

        There’s a difference between being naive and a dumbass. The website has been known for problems for the entire existence of it. This guy’s a dumbass. If he didn’t wanna see gore and CP he shouldn’t of been a porn site mod…

          I mean, by that same logic, we shouldn’t offer mental health counseling to first responders because they knew what they were getting into when they signed up for it. You can say there’s a difference between naiveté and stupidity, but it’s entirely arbitrary.

          Idk man, I feel like you’re really missing the point here. If you’re going to hire people to do a job that involves exposure to traumatic material, you need to provide resources for them to process and recover from it.

            I had a friend who was a firefighter who 100% agreed with that. He said if you don’t want to see nasty shit like limbs torn apart in car accidents then go flip burgers.

            If you’re going to hire people to do a job that involves exposure to traumatic material, you need to provide resources for them to process and recover from it.

            I don’t agree. The person in question knew what they were getting int, if not they’d have left at the first incident and noped out. They’re just teying to make coin of this.
