Hmmm I struggle w this part of the debate. I like the idea of verbally saying “this content is defined as being for people 18+” but not taking enforcement actions that increase surveillance… like an honor system style I suppose

whenever anyone at all messages me (as u know) the first question I ask is “are you over 18?” Not because we’re even flirting or even plan to

But because I personally don’t have business DMing anyone that young for anything

I know it’s not the same but when I think of these things I think it’s up to the adults to define the boundaries (because our prefrontal cortex is online) and it’s up to us to individually protect ourselves and it’s up to parents to protect their children etc

Ultimately, the internet itself is a very poor tool to use to protect children
