Decapitation seems pretty extreme, and that's in unmodded Skyrim. Not to mention child slavery in Fallout 3, New Vegas and Fallout 4.

 

"Depression" and "harmfull substances" would be enough to get stardew valley flagged as Adult.

A game rated 12+ by Europe's own raitings board.

 Redesign the site and take a serious initiative and I'll throw $500 to start. Unlike you, I'm willing to put my money where my mouth is.

I haven't put my mouth anywhere.

 

So far.

Well, I've put $500 on the line towards the redevelopment of LL. Any other takers?

 Imo, the responsibility should fall to the child's guardian rather than the service provider, although I don't consider the idea of at least pressing the "I'm over 18" button bad.

However, what I find most crucial in all this is the privacy risk - I don't find the idea of risking my personal data getting leaked for something as insignificant as downloading some mods from time to time.

 Someone mentioned here that we show ID when buying alcohol/cigarretes etc. and that it's somehow no different. To you I say - it is very different. Tell me, when you show your ID to buy a beer, does the clerk write it all down to keep for himself? No, they just look at the photo, maybe the date and give it back to you and you put it back in your wallet. Meantime, online verification like that gives a chance for the service provider to save all that data somewhere. After that, fuck knows what they'll do with it.

 

As somebody who was an early WIFI hacker, you are completely correct. Resecured multiple Gamestop WIFI for this exact reason. Their POS systems were running over wifi. Which means if you crack the network you can capture all the transaction data. Sure, the card data is encrypted but rainbow tables work magic and you have years to decrypt even a portion before the average user switches card numbers.

You've put the pixels that display a dollar sign, a numeral five and two numeral zeros on the line.

Guys, I understand wanting A new Nexus but  LL was never supposed to be nor should it. Remember mainstream means: 99% of your favorite LL mods would get banned over on nexus not because they care, but because as a mainstream legitimate business it can't afford to have them 🤔  Also.. Laws. I dunno where LL's server is based but depending on that, Ashal will have to obligate to the same law as Nexus has so even if it were somehow possible it would be pointless. 

So stop daydreaming.(It's not even the first time new laws get people into panic mode.. Just wait what happens and archive the mods you want to have in Just case scenario like always.)

Sie haben die Pixel, die ein Dollarzeichen, eine Fünf und zwei Nullen anzeigen, auf die Zeile gesetzt.

 

So, in the 20 years I've run my own company (engineering office), "potential business partners" have promised me things that would have made me a multi-millionaire in euros/dollars long ago.

As long as the money doesn't arrive in my own company account, these promises are "smoke and mirrors."

And you just show your ID to the vendor when you need tobacco or alcohol, you don’t leave them a copy of your private information...

And remember, The Nexus has been hacked before.  So depending on how the age verification process is handled, it could make you more vulnerable.  Most people enjoy their anonymity.

In the U.S., we have a saying (maybe they use it in other English-speaking countries, too): Money talks, bullshit walks.

The laws to protect minors is a false pretense. If you have the chance, I highly recommend you read this: The Scam of Age Verification

That article was linked a couple days ago, I've read it. Why do you trust an article written by a company that has a vested interest in the issue? I will side with the UK government and the EU over a porn company any day. Will the legislation be perfect - no. Will it be better than doing nothing - yes.

Is this because you don't have equivalent pixels? If you lack the pixels to produce the same effect then perhaps you should put in effort to organize so that more pixels can be gathered and organized to account for your substantial lack of said pixels.

"for the children" is the most historically popular way to perpetuate BS.

Ironically, the matters that truly affect children are often delayed. For instance, common sense gun laws. The lack of regulation and easy access to guns is one of the leading causes of child deaths, and this is well-documented. The statistics are clear, the math doesn't lie. Yet, we still lack such laws in the US. On the other hand, the topic of pornography was raised about five years ago or so and suddenly it was prioritized, all to appease the Christo-fascist groups that are leading nations now. Speaking of which, the ONE BIG UGLY BILL has just been passed here in the US, which includes significant cuts to financial aid affecting millions, including children. Where's the outcry from "pro-life" people? This was rushed through by MAGA Republicans just so their Orange Cult Leader can brag about it tomorrow, which is sickening considering the significance of that day in the US.

 

The reality is that genuine problems impacting children are often overlooked, dismissed, or delayed. However, if you have a some agenda that requires urgent votes, you can exploit the misleading notion of "protecting the children" to expedite the process.

Only in the USA. It may come as a shock but the vast majority of the world doesn't live in the USA.

It may come as a shock, but many parts of the world are affected and even take cues from the US. Why else do you think Trump's tariffs are headline news? And in regards to the example I used for child deaths and gun laws, that was just to pinpoint a discrepancy on how certain laws are prioritized. Sure, it's uniquely an American problem, and consider yourself lucky that you don't have to deal with it if you don't live in the US. But this whole thing about going after porn (which their laws are not protecting children and instead invading privacies of adults) versus not dealing with common sense gun laws (which is legitimately one of the leading causes of deaths of children) just highlights the situation that we're in and how lawmakers maliciously use the excuse of "protect the children" as a way to fast track their agendas.

 

Other nations include Austria, Hungary, Italy, etc. It is probably more accurate to call it "far right" or "ultra conservative", but they more or less hold similar ideals.

The person you quoted would seem to think they scored a point noting that banks, etc., have been hacked. But adding another source for a potential data beach that compromises personal data is what security people would call, to use a technical term, "bad."

 

I don't know what that fallacy is called, but it's a fallacy. "All these other bad things exist, so adding one more is no big deal." The same thinking applies when smokers say "The environment is already full of bad things, so it doesn't matter if I add smoking to the list."

So no examples then.

And remember to not post ridiculous sweeping generalisations that you can't back up.

Which has nothing to do with your point about children.

Just another example that I threw out there to show that what the US does have indeed an effect on the world. If you couldn't figure that out, you might be slow on the uptake. 

 

No goalposts being moved. Again, if you didn't understand the connection between "far right" and "Christo-fascism", then there's no hope in further discussing anything else with you.

Again you are misrepresenting what I wrote. Dark Spectre wrote that Nexus had been hacked in the past and added:

This point is valid and is equally valid even if Nexus has never previously been hacked.

 

The examples I gave of entities which have been hacked was meant to a/ show that being hacked is not unique to Nexus and b/ people still use the previously hacked entities. 

 

Until Nexus provides further info on the age verification issue this thread will continue to be a dumping ground for speculation, sweeping generalisations, conspiracy nonsense and outright twaddle.

Some people can't take a hint.  Just move on, like I did.

Examples which have nothing to do with children, the protection thereof.

I understand the connection but that does not mean the two are identical or synonymous.

And while we are here, the governing party in the UK is the Labour Party. We have Reform UK (with 5 MPs) which is our far-right party. The Christians are not a political force here, and we are very much in the disestablishmentarian camp.
