      They’ve been trying for years and never get anywhere.

      They face an issue that introducing age verification requires an ID system and whilst age verification polls well (as did earlier silly ideas like a watershed for the internet . Unfortunately, timezones exist…) ID verification polls extremely badly

      So I suspect trying and failing is their holding position where they satisfy both.
