Why the hell is every app and program out there just being prude bitches and making porn harder to access?

    Advertising is the big one. Many companies simply don’t want to advertise anywhere where porn is present even if it’s segregated.

    Payment processors is the next big one. Most processors won’t service porn sites which makes it hard to collect money for sites with porn. You get stuck with worse service and higher rates.

    Legal compliance is another big problem. Lots of countries have lots of different laws and operating a porn website can get you in trouble in places you weren’t aware of if you aren’t careful. You need to verify ages, and consent of both users and models. In some countries simply looking younger than 18/whatever age can be a problem.

    Overall if a site has mixed content, it can be much less hassle and much more income to drop the porn if there’s sufficient non-porn content.

    Competition is so cutthroat. If you started a new porn service today there would CSAM on your servers tomorrow.

    Would it be actionable? Diubtful. Not to say it isn’t happening out there but these incidents are largely competition playing dirty.

    I base this on nothing. Welcome to the internet.

      I like porn. I’m a fan. But I’m with you on that. If I want it, I know where to get it. It’s not really why I’m here.

      Also, it really ruins it for me that because it’s all user -contributed, it feels like being recommended porn by a creepy, off-puttingly thirsty highschooler. Given the demographics in places like this, that may actually be somewhat close to reality

      Am I the only one who has seen absolutely no porn on lemmy ever? I haven’t had to block any but I would if I saw it. Where are you guys seeing this?

      I can understand why a person has no interest in it and I personally don’t need to access it but I also don’t really care if it available. I do not become offended if it is available.

      In reality I am far more uncomfortable with violent content yet they seem to get far less attention then porn.

    Actually a skill issue.

    Seriously, don’t even leave this site, just go to the search bar and look up whatever you’re into, there’s probably a comm specifically for it. Even you sounding freaks.

    Because people don’t want to look at other people’s unusual niche kinks and try to identify if it contains children or other non-consenting participants as a part of their employment. And then try to explain to the people about why the unusual niche is against the rules when they receive a complaint about its removal. Amongst so many other reasons.

    Programs and apps on the internet are not simple things and user-generated content can be a very malicious and dangerous thing to have a copy of. The legal risk alone is not worth it, let alone the effort required to enable a slightly easier masturbatory experience for total strangers.

    I see so much porn on this site lemmy alone… scroll by new and hot, and you find tons of it… it’s actually kind of annoying how often I see naked chicks and dicks and more on this site compared to others that do good at censoring it from the front pages…

        Yeah, if I sort by new, or hot, I will get plenty of boob/vag images… not that I’m hating, I believe women should be able to post this is they want, but I also am not a huge porn consumer as woman myself… it’s just not my bag. Lol so it can be a little surpriseing to see full bodies after reading musk foiled Ukrainian plans, the Wisconsin GOP trying to impeach an elected (D) supreme court judge, and then bam! Crotch shot lmao 🤣😂

    Some of y’all need to learn to read. This discussion is about porn on apps specifically. Not complete access availability.

      As an older fellow who was probably looking at internet porn (image loaded line by line) before you were born. Y’all kids need to learn how to use the Web browser and how to type the URL to porn sites. Once you learn this you’ll have all the porn in the world avaliable for free in a few seconds when you want it. And also learn how to use incognito mode

    Because you’re a 13 year old perv and your parents have blocked porn for you.
