sites like cam4.com and others, you can make an account with just any e-mail , no age verification or anything then broadcast your penis to the world, and anyone can watch, again no age verification. and some of the guys on there are 18 or probally younger ? am i missing something here? whats up with this , as we struggle to verify and double document everyone and check that visitors to our sites are 18 or older. ?
I suppose they expect to escape prosecution. Perhaps they are in a backwater jurisdiction. Cam4.com has a private domain registration.
I had the exact same question. Unbelievable!!
There is no legal standard for age verification~
There is in Germany ;)Quote:

glad i was not the only one looking and scratching my head at this
i thinnk it is because they are amateur not real porn sites which is how they are doing it with no age checking
Chad, I think the big concern with cam4.com is that the amateur webcam performers do not provide any age verification. 18 USC 2257 and related regulations apply to these performers.Quote:

Having said that, don't models on cam4 become eligible to win cash awards if they are the most popular? At that point they must have to provide some kind of age verification.
Here is what they say under their HELP section which is the only mention of age I have found. Clearly all profiles state that the guy is at least 18 years of age but just as clearly they do not actually verify it prior to allowing the person to "broadcast" his cam on the site:Quote:

A broadcaster ban can last 1 day, 1 month or be permanent depending on the infraction. Multiple occurrences of the same infraction after being warned will result in a longer ban."
So if you can be banned for being an underage performer BUT they do not verify age that is clearly meaningless!
Yet people still go on the site and perform on and promote it for the owners despite the obvious legal implications of doing so.Quote:

or they think private registration will really hide them :uhoh:
