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.

        It might be slightly relevant but that doesn’t mean that the way you posted it wasn’t disingenuous.

          The fuck it was disingenuous. It’s the part of the article on which I had commentary. That it wasn’t the main focus does not say anything about my motivation to criticize people having the wrong take / solution.

            Hmm, you’re right. I suppose disingenuous was the wrong word for me to use and for that I apologize. It just seems a little strange to me to title your post about one thing, but then in the body all you reference is an off handed mention the article makes about something that is barely tangentially related to the article. I don’t know what to call it, but I guess technically you weren’t disingenuous.

            Edit: Perhaps click baiting is the correct term to use here.

              No, it wasn’t clickbait because the article title isn’t clickbait. I just happened to have an opinion on a section that wasn’t in direct support of the title. I can call out a lack of proper attribution to the problem without the thrust of the article being inaccurate or deceptive. I can see why you take umbrage with it, but I think you’re chasing something that isn’t there. I just commented on a farcical take.

                You’re right. I’m sorry, I had just woken up when I posted that and I think I may have woken up on the wrong side of the bed lol. Have a great day.
