bit of a futile endeavour tbh, if a kid with access to the Internet wants to see porn, they're going to find porn. And if they don't have access to the basic sources they'll probably find a more dodgy, unmoderated, and possibly extreme porn than if their curiosity got sated by pornhub or something
Agreed. Even going back to sharing stuff via Whatsapp or something like that, they are going to evade control for sure. But when will society be ready to just be honest with kids about what exists and teach them how to safely explore that and give them context? I guess we'd rather have dystopian control than that
Yeah, I'm not sure why so many adults try so desperately to forget what they were like as kids and teenagers. Rather than stop their biological urges, curb them or direct them towards safe release. Letting them figure it out on their own, and how else can they if you don't actually teach them, is a recipe for disaster.
Two of the best ways to reduce teen pregnancy are sex education and easy access to contraceptives.
I'd wager the vast majority of us don't actually give a shit what other people's kids do on the internet, but also don't have the energy to be an outspoken "free the porn" activist.
As long as they stay outta my voice chat.
When I was in middle school I had a kid who would pay me a dollar per picture to print out porn for him. Of course he got caught and told on me and his mom called my mom and I was just like "no, that's impossible you put porn filters on the computer."
So anyway, the moral of the story is that if you want to raise your kid to be a powerful STEM overlord, and a liar, and an entrepreneur - try to take away their porn.
And if they start looking in groups like that where you have up communicate with other people then that's far worse and more dangerous than pornhub
This is the biggest problem; you're basically funneling kids towards those sources least likely to comply with the law.
yup, precisely. This is the same story as trying to ban alcohol or drugs - people will find a way, and that way is going to put them at more risk than if those things were avaliable by legal means and properly regulated
Once verified, they'll receive 30 generated “porn credits” with a one-month validity granting them access to adult content. Enthusiasts will be able to request extra credits.
...I'm sorry, what? Is the government keeping track of how much porn I use?
So they can raise a bronze statue to the biggest masturbator on town, of course.
