> they might just get enough attention from voters to motivate a change
Unfortunately, guaranteeing anonymous internet porno is a terrible political beachhead to motivate "voters" to do anything.
Because I don't actually care about pornography, if it magically disappeared I wouldn't really care, it's all the other "not suitable for kids" content I care about that will get caught up in these laws. I don't want to give gross concern troll political groups moralizing about their precious hypothetical children the legal tools to ban what they don't like.
>And that is up to parents to control their child's internet access to limit their usage to only these sites.
This is an entirely unreasonable expectation on parents. I control web access at home, but I can't control it at school, or at their friend's houses. Nor do I have time, nor do I have access, to exert control over all the systems they come in contact with (even without their own device).
>it's all the other "not suitable for kids" content
Like what? Explicit violence?
> Like what? Explicit violence?
I find this comment puzzling, you present yourself as someone who desires age restriction of adult content but at the same time only want it for pornography and can't even name other content unsuitable for kids?
Profane language, violence, content about alcohol, content about drugs, content about smoking, blood & gore, "disturbing" content like liveleak, horror, sexually suggestive clothing like titty-streamers, sexually suggestive situations, sex education resources, proana eating disorder content, content about guns and weapons, hate speech, content about suicide and self harm, content depicting and glorifying crime.
When it comes to curating a kid's online experience porn tends toward the bottom of my worry list.
Reworded press release: "We protect children from being forced to upload their photos (on their IDs) to adult web sites"
"...to upload your photos (on your IDs)..." :D
Then again, these laws aren't about censoring children's access, they're about censoring EVERYONE'S access (and it blows my mind that conservative leaders will come right out and say it, but the average layperson doesn't seem to care or comprehend what a massive slippery slope censorship is -- porn is just the start)
