For an adult that has a fully formed identity and personality. Probably very little damage can be incurred from either.

So what is the implication from the fact that it is impossible to block porn for people who are not "an adult that has a fully formed identity and personality"?

It is called "parenting", people should do more of it.

Not too easy if you're working two jobs to provide for your family. By giving all the responsibility to the family you sacrifice those vulnerable children who weren't as fortunate as yourself growing up.

So society doesn't need to fix the "two jobs" problem but society needs to help with parenting instead including filtering porn of the interwebs?

I think we both realize that solving the two job problem is much harder. Hands off government and giving people the freedom to fuck up their life is great for middle class kids in super supportive families, but can be disastrous for less fortunate children.

I'm not from the US. I live in Sweden where it isn't as common with people working two jobs. But sure go ahead continue patching society because it is hard to solve the actual problem. So I'm not arguing for a hands off government, I'm actually arguing the opposite.

> I think we both realize that solving the two job problem is much harder.

No, it's not harder than solving the problem of how you let the government substitute for absent parents without creating a regime that exerts authoritarian control of the adult population through its control of content.
