Yeah it doesn't surprise me that teenagers are looking up porn since well... it happens. I want nothing to do with it but I can't exactly pretend that's not when I started discovering those things.

It more surprises me that they aren't even pretending that they're 18. Isn't that what you're supposed to do? Go under some anon username and pretend to be older?

[(Anonymous)]

You are! For goodness sake, it's common courtesy. lol

Plus, pretty sure it's illegal and the porn hosting site can get in a lot of trouble if it has kids. I think Adultfanfiction.net runs into this problem, they can be sued or shut down or something if their users are younger than 18. So... please have the decency to at least pretend you aren't a minor. :-/

AFF did get in trouble for it a while back and now they're hyper-vigilant about user accounts. They'll even delete accounts of users who are of age now if said accounts were made when said user was underage, ie, user A is now 22 but they made their AFF account when they were 16.

[(Anonymous)]

yeah, you're telling me. One of my favorite fics got taken down for this reason. the author was over 18 when she posted it, but I guess her account had been created before that.

[illiadandoddity]

Exactly. God knows I was writing porn as a teenager, but I'm sort of wondering about the fandom trend away from underage kids lying about their ages. Maybe it's because they no longer have to go through the old geocites "If you are over 18, click the 'i' in the word warning to prove you read this message and see this NC-17 fic."

[(Anonymous)]

I wonder if it's because there's this increasing push, by big name corporations like Facebook and Google, to use your real identity. Anonymity used to be common knowledge on the Internet, lying was always part of it. Kids these days might have less "anonymous" culture because Facebook and Google want them to use their real names, etc.

[(Anonymous)]

On the flip side, this makes it easier to report them/charge them. Which is prolly what Google/Facebook wants in the first place....

[mautradutor]

Yes, I think you may have turned some criteria of Internet here.. now people assume "authenticity," which seems to mean revealing more than you really should.

[weaselbee]

Haha, yes. Especially when they're on tumblr and have their real names/selfies on the site. Please don't do that, guys. I worry about you. I guess it's just different internet culture through the years. People in my generation had To Catch a Predator and "You must be 14/18 years old to access this site." Meanwhile they grew up with Facebook and Twitter and stuff that encourages you to use your real name.

[(Anonymous)]

I worry about these children too, when I was young it was so much easier to not use your real name and computers were so bad you could get away with not even showing a picture of yourself to anyone.

It concerns me when kids have their real names attached to facebook and youtube accounts and they have this stuff there to haunt them forever.

[(Anonymous)]

IA. Just look at what happen to Amanda Todd or other unfortunate kids with similar experiences. :/

[ketita]

I think you're 100% right. Nowadays everybody shares their name, their photos, what they ate for breakfast... in my day we would only share what country we lived in with close friends and the friendslock on LJ got a lot of use.
I really do wonder where all this is going... I think it'll cycle back around to people wanting a separate internet identity again, at some point. I hope.

[thistlechaser]

Yep. In the last few years I've started letting non-LJ friends know what state I live in. Give my RL name? Never!

I really worry about these kids...

[diet_poison]

I've always seen a big separation between Facebook and The Rest of the Internet. Facebook is the online extension of my real self where I keep up with people I know irl. Pretty much everywhere else is for my cyber self, who, well, is me, but uses a different name and has a big, bold separation from my Facebook self because I don't want people who I meet online to be able to find me or to know my real name, etc.

I guess the difference is do you meet them online or not? There is kind of a one-way membrane where sometimes if I meed nerdy people and want to be on Steam or tumblr or something with them I'll share that, but the reverse is very rarely true. Only a small handful of the people I've met online I trust enough to friend on Facebook.

[takaraikarin]

'You should lie on the internet!' is the first rule I learned. Even now I'm still very selective in revealing personal stuff online.

It's a bit jarring seeing all these youngsters with their full names and addresses in their tumblr.
