  • It doesn’t matter if the code is open here. Depending on what your company does, it might be cheaper to buy ready to use products by some vendor than paying software/sysadmin guys to review, deploy and maintain. It can be even required by law. Needless to say there are many software vendors selling contract for open software, either hosted or fully deployed and supported. Still in many fields like medical due to vendor lock ins there aren’t many feature complete open software and you need the programs to be reliable, usable by non technical people and virtually unchanged over long time. To provide these guarantees without depending on proprietary vendors means to make your own software company (and perhaps open up your work not to become just another closed software) and nobody does that.

    Security works kinda the same. But in these contexts if someone uses privacy and security together like this it’s probably just bs.

















  • There’s no reliable way to verify age without extensive face verification with liveliness checks. A child can easily upload a parent’s or some other adult’s id card photo to get ‘verified’. Also nothing stops kids to explore porn corners of social media (including lemmy) and thousands of porn sites operated not by the Big Porn. Porn is fundamental to internet.

    Edit: I purposefully omitted vpn, that being the most trivial solution.

    That’s all besides the point however.

    If a young kid is motivated by highschool seniors to watch porn, it is s parenting issue. If some adult encourages some child to watch porn as a grooming technique that’s a much more serious case of child abuse. If a teenager is porn addict and doesn’t do anything else, it is a major mental health concern, not a porn concern itself.

    It is kind of accepted fact that many late teenagers are familiar with porn and explore it like any other sexual aspects of their life. Whether that’s harmful is upto debate but teenagers/adults do many things harmful everyday and banning everything with law isn’t realistic either. It is not end of the world if a teenager has sex or watches a porn movie. Children have greater dangers in general where they get abused by their relatives, teachers and even by their own parents and are continuously attempted to be programmed not to critically think by the religions.
