    if the strategy is to tell children to stop circumventing the rules with a workaround, couldn’t the original messaging just have been “talk to your children about not watching porn”

    it’s so obvious the identification laws have nothing to do with protecting children from porn and everything to do with Big Brother surveillance

      Who cares if kids porn anyways? Like they’re going to find a way if they want to. I was cooking into my own around the time the Internet just started hitting households, and therefore wasn’t the vehicle for porn it is today. There was a full on underground economy with all the prepubescent boys. Kids are going to do what they want regardless of legality.

        And before that, kids were passing dirty magazines they found in a tree.

        You can’t stop teenagers from being horny. And I rather they watch porn than have sex at that age.
