Freedom requires responsibility. The example we set for our children and those around us matters. Porn is just one cut of a thousand that is destroying western civilization. We should do better. Real men don't watch porn, cucks and degenerates do.

sites or platforms with more/detailed/valuable data to sell to someone else.


The info is not for them, and almost never actually revealed to the adult site operator. I had to verify my ID online with a health system, and they used an ID provider (similar to ID.me, used by Gov) which used a verification question about where I worked 25 years ago. Pornhub wouldn't know, but the ID provider would know I attempted to access Pornhub, and can link it to my consumer reports, and on and on. And government buys that data all the time.

It does add to the data that a data broken can piece together about you (without significant effort) to sell to others. And obviously, like the auto insurance thread, government can have access to without a subpoena.

Oh my, what will us Texans do? Just think if there wasn't 345,780 other places to see porn on the web. Good luck to PH I guess, but this kind of smells like Neil Young pulling his music from Spotify.

Or you could just not be a lazy parent and do your job instead of needing the govt to do it for you.

What else do you apply this to? Buying your kid a firearm that he then used to commit a crime? Should I be policing my child to guarantee no alcohol or cigarettes are ever purchased underage? What if my kid buys drugs? Should I automatically know and be responsible for that? Where do you draw the line of what should be the responsibility of the parent instead of the seller?

I'm shocked anyone who spends any amount of time online could believe those things to be effective.

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?


This.

Sorry, I routinely block apps and non approved websites from my kids.

Parents don't want to be bothered with app requests, and want to keep drinking their wine before school pickup. That's their problem. If you're not willing to take 10 minutes a week to pay attention to what your kids want to download or block, I don't know what to tell you. There are at least four ways that take under 2m to block sites on iOS described in this article that should take under 90s each. But pass a law. Come on man.

And do not let kids jailbreak their phones! They're getting sent links from friends for all kind of bullshite, which can compromise their phones.

People that act like abstinence doesn’t work show me they have a bleak view of themselves and humanity and lack of self control.



Abstinence isn't a panacea. Viable approach for many, but not all. I'd argue not even most. And I say that as someone who married the woman to whom I lost my virginity. I also have never had an STD, nor do I have any unwanted children.

Abstinence should be presented as an option, not a be-all, end-all.

Yep. We could use better decision-makers in our public. That dont happen through information bottlenecks.

Government should encourage responsible behavior, but its not the arbitrator of morality or shouldnt be making decisions for over 300 million people.

Got news for you. If you want to see something fail, try telling teenagers that they are restricted. They will find a way to make the rules totally ineffective.

Can't buy beer
Can't buy booze
Can't buy cigarettes
Can't buy vapes

Teenagers are doing all the above....with no problem.

No doubt many people—regardless of age—will find a way to do what they want to do regardless of legal barriers. A law doesn’t have to completely eliminate a behavior in order to be effective or good.

Yes. What kinda dumbass question is that?

The line was drawn when you had sex and produced a child. That was your choice. Man up and take full responsibility for your actions.

No you don't. You just think you do. It is very simple to get around everything you've mentioned and any of us itt could and would do so if our parents had attempted to block anything from us.
