It's what I used to do. Which kid is actually going to click on disagree when they intentionally went to the site? So stupid.

Only real use is when it's a mistake or not knowing what they site is. More of a "Oh, I didnt want to see 2 girls one cup, thanks FPB for making sure it didnt autoplay!"

but lolz to FBP, they think they can regulate the internet and offshore hosting!
 
This is completely unenforceable. How is the FPB going to enforce this for websites hosted outside of South Africa? If a website turns around and tells the FPB to shove it where the sun don't shine there is absolutely nothing they can do.
 
“If people find online content to be inappropriate, they may in terms of section 16 of the Act, lodge a complaint with the Board,” said Risiba.

Or they can just stop viewing the site, maybe?

Archaic board trying to make themselves seem more relevant.

Well, I'm going to browse for some sites, and submit complaints for each single one of them, and expect a response and action for each. I'm sure I can get this right with a script...

If everyone had to complain about a web-site... they might start facing reality.

U misunderstand, they find the site inappropriate... for others, like minors. So if the people who are complaining stop viewing it, it wont make a difference to the minors.... :wtf:

There, you have made the world a better place. Tannie Evita and the lady at the place where I buy my koeksusters, would be SO proud.

Double post due to my internet being drunk!
 
They should rather have a registration form to fill in with terms & condition and it is abiding.

Problem solved. I can easily paste the link of the offending images to a friend, then she will go report the site.
