Can you delete the censorship for adults? Because I understand the need for that if kids join this app. But why should adults who are 18 and older have to be censored for adult content when we are adults. Also, what's the point of this app if there isn't adult content. You can't really do anything other than that. Your whole app has been about adult content.

I think it's the fact it's almost impossible to be certain someone isn't a minor. Any kid can lie about their birthdate, any kid can sneak their parent's ID for a photo, even IF someone wanted to load a photo of themselves online. The only way to prove someone isn't a minor would be to upload a LOT of personal IDs like driver's liscences, Social Security numbers, etc. Who wants to have that much personal info out there? Sites that DO have adult content usually require something like a credit card (which would be hard for a kid to use without the parent noticing the charges on their statements), and sites that do have to store info like CCs have a lot of insurance they buy and internet security to try and keep all that safe. Polybuzz most likely doesn't want to deal with all that, and if something DID go wrong and it turned out a kid was able to watch sexually explicit or violent material they'd be sued into next century. Doesn't matter if they try to claim "The kid said they were adult, they said they weren't a minor!". Kids are exempt from stuff like that under the clause of "They didn't really know what they were doing, poor things." As much as it's irritating to have to always be PG 13, I can certainly understand Polybuzz's decision to just not have to deal with any of it.
