I agree that "Think of the children" is a really annoying talking point but it doesn't make it a _wrong_ talking point. It's often used to push reactionary policy quickly without giving anyone time to think about the repercussions. I'm on HN, I'm a massive advocate for privacy. I self host every single thing I can and use a pinephone.

That said the privacy argument is still not enough for me here. Bars have the ability to store this information they just choose not to. Pornhub also has the ability to choose not to store it. The privacy concerns are worth the risks

Pornography is a dangerous terrible thing. If exposed to it as a child it will likely impact you for the rest of your life.
