    It’s not the same, porn you have to search out. They’re already on twitch for other reasons and are far more likely to be suggested/shown more vulgar content like “artistic nudity”.

      If they can google search for twitch, they can google search for porn. They already know. I mean, come on, you were 14 once.

      If they cant google search for twitch, then they shouldnt be able to change the channel to boobie streams for the same reason they shouldnt be able to change to any other non-kid-friendly stream. Thats part of being responsible as a parent.

      I dunno, this doesnt seem like that big of a deal.
