    I’ve been saying for years that Reddit has no idea how to verify the age of their users, and that it’s an elephant-in-the-room situation given that a significant portion of their content is user-generated pornography. I’m surprised investors haven’t brought this up, as it’s a 100% guarantee that there’s sexual content of and consumed by minors on the website.

    If the regulators were to even sniff under the rug they’re going to find an absolute shit show.

      Is there anyway for a website to verify your age without being an invasion of privacy and basically asking you to dox yourself to them though?
