I have kids, I don't want them watching porn too young, but at the same time I'm not stupid enough to think that age blocking major websites is going to keep them out of it at all. This is nothing but theater, and it's an invasion of privacy while they're acting.

The only way to stop teenagers from watching porn is....

Uhh I don't think there's a way.

Conservatives are on a big kick for so-called "parental rights" but what about parental responsibilities? It's a parent's job to make sure their children have a healthy relationship with sexuality.

Back in my day you could find porn in the woods. You'll never stop teenagers finding porn.

If all the major sites comply with the proposed law, all it means is that teenagers will be pushed to more sketchy sites that don't have restrictions. This combined with conservatives destroying sex ed is not good for anyone.

It's always that way.

The people who scream the loudest about " muh rights" never want to acknowledge that rights come with responsibilities.

And never seem to want to demonstrate that they can act in a responsible manner.

It's going to drive young people to less reputable porn sites with much more questionable materials.
