@HCICT_MaxC @HCICT_JackP @HCICT_LukeD @HCITPhilJackson @HCICT_JackG It's the website which decides which ads it shows. Is the adult business at fault for using an ad or the website for displaying it? (2/2)

[Ross Bates @HCICT_RossB]

@HCICT_MaxC @HCICT_JackP @HCICT_LukeD @HCITPhilJackson @HCICT_JackG Are you suggesting businesses with adult themes should not be allowed to advertise themselves? Why not? (1/2) #hcict

@HCICT_JackP @HCICT_LukeD By-passable with a VPN, not to mention your IP changes regularly anyways. #hcict

[Ross Bates @HCICT_RossB]

@HCICT_MaxC @HCICT_JackP @HCICT_LukeD @HCITPhilJackson @HCICT_JackG Why not on age-appropriate sites? If the site can't tell the user's age how are they supposed to block minors access? #hcict

[Ross Bates @HCICT_RossB]

@HCICT_JackG @HCICT_JackP @HCICT_MaxC Kids always using stuff above their age on the internet. YouTube has (had?) a requirement to be 13+ to make an account, but many aren't.

[Ross Bates @HCICT_RossB]

@HCICT_JackG @HCICT_LukeD They can't. How are they supposed to know that a new account with an unused email belongs to someone they already banned? #hcict

[Ross Bates @HCICT_RossB]

@hcict_edenll @HCICT_LukeD You make a fair point. I believe I have an article for people to read before making a decision on this. https://t.co/kxjzG2cYcp #hcict

[Ross Bates @HCICT_RossB]

@hcict_edenll @HCICT_JackP @HCICT_SteveH Remember this is true for both sides. Make a new account and only tell people you trust that it's you. #hcict

[LukeDorey @HCICT_LukeD]

but this would also lead to people complaining about their freedom of speech #HCICT https://t.co/1HaWOBCV1T

[Ross Bates @HCICT_RossB]

@hcict_edenll @HCICT_JackP @HCICT_SteveH It's impossible to monitor every single account, with how many people sign up a day and how many exist already. #hcict

[Ross Bates @HCICT_RossB]

@HCICT_CharlieR Net neutrality is about not letting companies favour some websites over others, it has nothing to do with what happens online. #hcict

[Ross Bates @HCICT_RossB]

@HCICT_SteveH @HCICT_JackP Blocking and reporting abusive or propaganda accounts helps reduce their effectiveness without hampering the normal user. #hcict

[Ross Bates @HCICT_RossB]

@HCITPhilJackson @HCICT_JackP Learning to ignore it isn't very healthy, but blocking and reporting abusive accounts means you're not going to need to. #hcict

[Ross Bates @HCICT_RossB]

@HCICT_SteveH So many people use social media it's not possible to police without using an algorithm, which won't be 100% accurate. #hcict
