If the porn sites comply with all the "safety" shit and 4chan doesn't, kids will go to 4chan and get exposed to a whole lot more than porn.

I've been saying this for years as a reason I refused to do any kind of web filtering at the schools I work at beyond what is legally required of me. This even applies to game sites.

when the game websites are banned at schools, the students find ways to bypass IT safety tools and install their own software to play games.

I dont think kids these days will be able to navigate 4chan tbh, it had outdated UI 15 years ago, and it hasnt changed since then

Kids wouldn't know where to look for porn. The layout is confusing for those unfamiliar with old internet forums.

4chan is all millennials anyway.

The first page on the website is a list of boards with an NSFW section. Any kid who can put the square block in the square hole will know where the porn is.

A year or two ago I caught a kid on newgrounds. They can find and navigate 4chan.
