It is true that a simple keystroke - Yes, I'm over 18 will get an underage person in to see some porn.
True, chances are there are none of us that didn't look at porn before we were over 18.
Right or wrong, our government to the best of my knowledge considers you of age at 18 in most states. Proof of that can be a credit card even though the credit card companies don't want that hot topic.
A major point is that someone underage cannot enter a legal agreement. That means selling anything can lead to problems.
Further, Pad appears to me to be selling spam software that is intended to circumvent security filtering. Our industry needs to adhere to higher standards if it is to continue. So especially in light of the age here, an example of right and wrong should be set.
Just because others may be scammers, spammers or looked at porn at an early age doesn?t mean that we should condone or encourage the activity. Pad?s disrespect for what is right and wrong is flagrant in my opinion. I doubt that simply banning him from here will change his activity. I do believe that his admitted age does put anyone that does business with him at risk. I also believe that there is a responsibility to not encourage illegal activity.
This is not up to me obviously. I think the discussion here and in other threads is needed.
