Coco Quinn's Website

Senior Team Revision

 

Launched April 2025, Coco Quinn has been promoting her website, across social media however her website is age gated to 18 and over, and she fails to disclose that on her social media promotion via her Instagram stories, this is misleading as people can be directed to a website that is not aimed at them, given Coco's age, which falls below her websites age gate, most of her fanbase aren't 18 and over as when we researched her fanbase we didn't find any evidence that her fanbase was 18 and over.

As with  paywall websites, these are 18 and over some mainly for payment processing and not always the content, we we're recently  made aware that Coco Quinn's content isn't explicit its modelling swimwear and other fashion dresses etc (confirmation needed), we still remain doubtful and we are giving Coco Quinn's website the benefit of the doubt as we haven't seen the locked content ourselves.

When we visited Coco Quinn's website in April 2025 we found only 'locked content', as of late there has been a change as there is now viewable images on her websites feed, however each photo has a description underneath and some also say DM me (Direct Message Me), which her website has direct message facility so this is applies to subscribers as only subscribers can direct message her so this content isn't exactly intended for public visitors. This doesn't change the fact that this website is now appropriate for most of her fanbase. The idea all of a sudden that Coco Quinn's website suddenly has viewable content as well as the locked content may be to get more visitors to the website however that doesn't change the websites age gate, and with Coco Quinn promoting her website across her social media Instagram specifically via her Instagram stories "come say hi" (then a link to her website!) is still very concerning WHY? the reason is she isn't disclosing the websites age gate*, not to mention the locked content*, and Coco Quinn has hardly disclosed as to what it actually is*.

 

Coco Quinn's Website, is 18 and over to subscribe, as stated in her websites terms of service, no one under 18 can subscribe and this is someone who is under 18 herself. So how many have subscribed so far, your guess is as good as ours.

 

Coco Quinn Online was launched May 2025 

We had some knowledge on her but didn't know enough so we asked her fanbase where we reside about her audience what age groups does she appeal to this was to give us an idea as to what kind of website we would be launching obviously not a website that would be just18 and over. Preteen up to teens, teenage girls and boys.

 

The age gate:

The 18+ age gate on Coco Quinn's Website is legal regulation. on some websites a parent can make purchases for their under 18 just as long as its not explicit. This doesn't necessarily mean a parent  can do the same on Coco Quinns website, as there is no mention of this on the website. We haven't seen her locked content so we have to assume its inappropriate for under 18's even people her age.

For months her website and feedback  had created disappointment, and excluding a huge majority of an audience, she built her career with!.

Coco Quinn's promotion of her website needs to be more realistic as she isn't disclosing the age gate for subscription and she needs to make people aware especially if their under 18.

The team have rules on linking to Adult websites 18 and over that contain explicit material, we do not allow Adult websites to link to this website 'Coco Quinn Online'.

* The irony of a minor promoting an 18+ website

Minor status: The situation is particularly problematic given that Coco Quinn is a minor herself. it is absurd that she is promoting a website that legally excludes her from its intended audience. Also 'social media platforms will have regulations about advertising 18 and over websites especially if a minor could access the website through social media promotion'.

Brand vs. individual: While a legal team likely drafts the website's terms and privacy policy, it is her name and personal brand that are used for the promotion. The legal and operational decisions are separated from her personal age, but the public perception is often that she is personally responsible for the site's rules and promotion. This disconnect contributes to the frustration and perception that the brand is irresponsible.

Influence and responsibility: The critique that she is acting without full responsibility touches on a broader debate about the duties of child and teen influencers. The rapid commercialization of social media has created a grey area where young influencers, often with the guidance of their management, operate lucrative brands that can have a significant impact on other minors.

The policies of social media platforms themselves may place influencers in a tricky position regarding promoting age-gated websites.

However, platforms do offer tools and features that provide options for creators to responsibly handle age-restricted content and transparently disclose key information. 

Promoting an 18 and over website over social media can cause problems, minors will see the promotion it will entice them to go visit he website, so promoting an 18 and over website comes with risks example website exposure to minors  

Potential consequences:

Influencers can face consequences for misleading promotions, though oversight can be inconsistent. Actions can range from formal warnings from advertising authorities to reputational damage that could impact future brand partnerships. In the UK, regulators have powers to fine companies and demand transparency from social media platforms and the influencers who use them.
Ultimately, the issue rests on the failure to provide clear and upfront communication about the age restrictions, leading to a situation where younger, loyal fans feel betrayed and misled by an icon who is still a minor herself.

this is a detailed summary of the concerns regarding Coco Quinn's website promotion. This highlights a significant ethical problem with the way some influencers leverage their social media presence to promote commercial ventures, especially to a mixed-age audience.

The irresponsibility of the promotion
Targeting minors: to point out, a broad call-to-action like "come say hi" is directed at her entire social media audience, which she knows includes many minors. Given her own history as a child star, this is particularly troubling.

Misleading behaviour: The lack of disclosure regarding the 18+ age restriction is highly misleading. It drives underage fans to a website where they cannot participate, which can be frustrating for the children and their parents.

Lack of transparency: This deliberate lack of transparency can be interpreted as a strategy to maximize traffic, regardless of the appropriateness of the audience. This prioritizes business metrics over the well-being of her young followers.

The social media platform's role, raising a valid point about social media platform rules.

Platform policies: Social media platforms like Instagram and TikTok have rules regarding the promotion of age-restricted content. An influencer promoting an 18+ site without clearly stating the age restriction could be violating these platform rules.

Circumventing rules: It is plausible that the lack of disclosure is an attempt to bypass these rules. By not explicitly mentioning the age gate, the post appears harmless and is less likely to be flagged by automated moderation systems.

Dangerous outcome: The drawback, this lack of transparency poses a danger to minors and their parents, who are unaware of the website's true nature.

Legal and ethical implications
Risk of complaint and investigation: Forcing minors to confront age restrictions on a subscription-based site can trigger complaints from parents. In regions with strict advertising standards like the UK, with the ASA (Advertising Standards Authority ) and online safety regulations, misleading promotions can lead to formal investigations and penalties.

Personal responsibility: A 17-year-old is promoting this site adds another layer of responsibility. While her business team likely manages the website, she is the face of the brand and must accept accountability for its messaging however limited due to her being under age most responsibility falls on her team who are acting accordingly on her behalf when she turns 18 she will have more input.
