I have a different take on this.

I agree that the woman should have done more to prevent her child from accessing porn sites online.

However, her failure to do so does not relieve the porn sites of their legal obligations. Some sites have chosen to respect the rule of law and require proper identification and confirmation of age before delivering pornographic material. Other sites have chosen to ignore those laws.

If I were to let my young child wander off on his own and he went through the neighborhood and ended up going into a bar, I should definitely get in trouble for not taking care of my child. But if he was served a drink at that bar, then the bar should be in trouble as well.

No money for mom. Do your job, lady.

And throw the book at the porn merchants.

How does such a website know/obtain not-easy-to-forge-dispute “age verification”.

If they require uploading a picture ID with date of birth, then isn’t the person risking compromise of that data on another website that might be hacked??
