Now I can't do that because some of the content may be 'distressing' or 'harmful' to my well being . . at the age of 72 you're a bit bloody late 
On the other hand, I can easily watch the news programs and see (often with images) stories of people being stabbed, shot, mown down by cars, and desperate people starving while their homes are being blown to smithereens by missiles & bombs.
It seems to me that Real Life isn't classed as 'harmful' to me as watching a movie or video game.  |
It's to cover themselves because they have no proof of your age, but I take your point about the news.
