If you think that's bad

In May, the regulator fined porn company YoungTek Solutions £600,000 for not putting systems in place to make sure UK visitors were over the age of 18.

These fines feel bigger than the ones we fine oil or other huge corporations for actually doing awful things...

I was thinking about how maybe they should change their name before they got hit with the fine, but that too.

Twitter has a wealth of information on CSAM produced through their website and AI, and they've been fighting law enforcement tooth and nail on that. No fines in sight.
