Parents jobs. And TONS of ways to do it without punishing everyone and collecting PII.
How would you as a parent prevent your kids from accessing porn?
Filtered dns provided via opendns.com is a damn good/easy option. Not 100% but will take care of most junk that may accidentally pop up. If they are smart enough to get around that, I feel they are old enough to understand the concept and consequences of sexual intercourse.
Anyone smart enough to get around that would also be smart enough to get around whatever the government does to block it.
I like this take for two reasons. You're one hundred percent right. But also. It's part of the whole deal, keep feeding the "justice system" people that aren't smart enough or just didn't think of the potential fall out. These laws aren't meant to stop everyone, they're meant to choose who it is they want to stop.
Agreed, unless it was everything everywhere, that would be scary, like China scary
Most routers have parental controls. Web sites have categories, and you can explicitly block those categories. You can use 3rd party dns tools like nextdns for granular control. Lots of parental software you can install that can limit PC time use, sites, tracking, etc. you can blacklist sites too. Lots of control and access levels so you don't block yourself too.
or you know... talk to your kids
sure, but it's not going to curb the curiosity 100%. and it's not just sex sites, kids don't need to see sites like crazyshit.com, etc until they're at least mature enough.
i'm wouldn't be looking to curb curiosity tho.. that's not natural at all.. instead i'd be looking to address it head on..
i'm telling my kids, yes this happens, this is a thing.. share my viewpoints on the dangers of abusing it.. and reprimand them for treating it as such.
they're still going to do it.. but at least them knowing that i'm well aware of it as a parent would lessen risk of them turning it into some sort of secret addiction of theirs.
@mmagod
Do you have kids?
What did you tell them about hardcore anal? All the kids want anal now.
They don't know about all the prep, the behind the scenes, the emergency room runs where someone gets a perferated colon and risks bleeding out internally.
Did you mention that to your daughter?
I'm not advocating for government control, but simple snappy one liners are just that. Unless they're funny. We all like those 😉
lol no kids..
that's the thing.. by me saying talk to kids.. im saying address it all.. i'm looking to educate them, not shelter them..
if/when i have one, i'm telling them this world ain't all sunshine and rainbows.. here's how to make the smart and wise decisions..~then i'd hand them their baby bottle~
And then you put your phone on cellular and all the Wi-Fi controls are gone.
Google family app does some good.
if you've got a kid old enough to be using a phone, but not old enough to know about sex, and you haven't enabled parental controls, you have other things to worry about. or they're old enough to look at whatever they please.
Parents have proven they are not capable of managing it themselves.
Not the states problem. Also, much bigger issues than naked ladies on computer.
It is if the parents wont do anything about it.
Bring in the military to feed my kids some vegetables.
Lolwut? So if my parents didn't do something for me, the state needs to pick us the slack? No. It's porn man, not jihad.
So you think everyone should pay for the fact that you're a bad parent?
Edit: This user is probably just a troll who should be blocked/banned on sight. Their argument here today flies directly in the face of another moronic stance they displayed a week ago.
Then spend a day or two in sex ed every year talking about responsible porn consumption. Jfc this isn’t rocket science.
We’re talking about boobs and penises here people. Chances are you have at least one of those. This is just penetration and masturbation in realistic and fantasy settings. This isn’t profane, this is nature.
The truly disgusting part of porn isn’t the sex.
LMFAO we gonna do that for hungry kids too? Or are we just gonna cherry pick the shit the bible never said and go with "what this other guy, what's his name, whatever doesn't matter", said it on Facebook that one time?
You guys are fucking ludicrous with what you think the government should and shouldn't do. if you spent more time thinking about what you could achieve yourself and for the people around you, rather than what you think should be imposed on everyone else you may be surprised. I really hope you think about this because Jesus fucking Christ watching y'all think like this is exhausting.
Maybe grow the fuck up and stop depending on gummint to do shit for you. Bootstraps n shit, bruh.
Because, as much as I'd like to, I cant go into every family home and take away the kids' devices.
"I'm not a fascist, I just want to impose my specific views on the entirety of humanity by force!"
Have you ever considered fellating a joshua tree?
Says the not fascist….
Cool. So let’s get all the guns out of any houses with minors.
guns are not as addictive as porn
Lolbruh. Porn isn’t as bunch-of-kids-shot-dead-by-another-republican-ghoul. But you go ahead and rock on.
So, you want to remove porn from every household in America because it can harm children... but not guns... because they can't? Get your head out of your ass, please.
I never said guns cant harm children
No, you just said porn needs to be regulated and guns don't. Pretty shit set of priorities in my book.
Porn is more harmful than guns?
No. its more addictive
Not too sure about that, most gun people I know or hear about don't just stop at 1. Sounds like addiction to me. I for one only have 1 way to access porn. Checkmate.
I hope and assume you're a troll but if you aren't, please, please, seek help.
Just wow bro. Full fash
A parents inability to parent their children should not infringe upon my right to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness.
Happiness= porn in his case
Just as the founders intended.
Based on what?
Parents could not keep up with fast pace of emerging technologies.
I'm not defending the ban on porn, I'm just saying.
Parents have also proven that they are capable of managing it themselves.
Almost like 'parents' is not one person.
Dumb parents are gonna be dumb regardless of all the stupid law enacted by other dumb parents.
So now you're blaming parents? Have you no family values? Why do you hate American families so much?
