More likely than not, this got caught up in a regular job that scans DNS zones for new domains to "filter". It's just a matter of time before this catches anything related to Scunthorpe[0].

It's also worth adding that 18 is typically the age when someone is considered legally accountable for their actions as an adult. We shouldn't be surprised that this age pops up in so many laws because of that, even though it is an arbitrary line in most cases.

The odd thing is that in most countries the age of consent is below (sometimes significantly below) 18. So we’ve got strange mixed signals.

Yeah it's kinda funny that I can legally have sex but not look at porn or send nudes, both of which are arguably less risky.
