I mean, they have a point. Only requiring specific sites to comply just drives them to sites that don't. If I required 7/11 to ID minors and let Circle K sell to whoever they want do you think that will curb underage drinking or will all the minors just go to Circle K?

You operate under the assumption that drinking and porn consumption is impossible to derail and its nearly a rite of passage.

Why is it mandatory that children consume porn? Why do people believe it's impossible to keep children from consuming porn? It's just a strange stance to me.


This plus other blockers can make it harder. Just because it can happen doesn't mean you should help it to happen. It's the same mindset that leads states like California to create injection sites. You accept that it's impossible to stop open air drug use so you almost encourage it when you make policy based on the idea that it's impossible to stop. (I.e. they will do drugs no matter what so might as well make it clean, and now you're spending money enabling drug use)

You don't want to make the initial effort to prevent damage but the social damage will cost you the same as the initial action to stop it.
