When do the alcoholics get to sue the bars/pubs for "forcing" them to walk through the door and order a drink?

Another good thing falls to the whims of lack of personal responsibility, parenting, and Helen (won't someone think of the children?!) Lovejoy syndrome. Now the predators will just continue to do there thing in a darker hole that is even harder to find.

If a bar is consistently serving alcohol to minors, it deserves consequences.

Yeah there's literally laws against it lol. The op analogy sucks.

A bar can reliably verify the customer's age, a website can't do that.

The internet is not a safe space for children. It's absolutely the parents' responsibility to monitor their children's internet consumption.

If a drunk driver kills someone then the place who served them is sued

That darker hole is discord though, I wrote to them begging them to shut down their public server/community finder

Personally I think this is crazy, and totally without merit.

I've been using Discord since 2017 and not once have I had some random stranger get naked on camera. I'm not saying that there aren't problems with it. There probably are. I just think that saying it's worse than Omegle is bizarre.

I didn’t say worse, I said it was the place they’d go to

But from my experience I’d say you’re lucky you haven’t been solicited or sent unrequested nude photos

I don't understand the comparison. Are the children being preyed upon the alcoholics in this scenario?

[–] Hyacin@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

No, the drunk children are sending dic pics on Discord, I think?
