What about sexual and emotional education in schools?

captainlezbian,

Oh they’ve wanted that gone forever.

The people who really think of age verification as effective measures tend to also be against having those in schools in the first place.

That would involve cutting 0.001% of the road budgets… Nope!!

“develop a technological standard that might turn a user’s electronic device into the proof of age necessary to access restricted online content.”

Can we not? Can parents just take care of their kids like they have for thousands of years instead of futility trying to babyproof the internet for a minority of people? Jesus.

Can parents just take care of their kids like they have for thousands of years

Okay, so lets be certain that kids do not have a direct connection with every intelligence agency, mafia and terrorist organization in the world right in their pocket, just as they did not for thousands of years. Now, to be clear I really don’t like the approach they’ve chosen here (I think we need to go much deeper into the fundamental design of the Internet), but I would hope it’s not a controversial statement to assert that our society has taken a very sharp turn for the worse ever since the Internet became ubiquitous in children’s development, and I think that really ought to prompt discussion about how it’s being used.

fruitycoder,

Controversially, I think the Internet has made society better. We’re still in the growing years of the age of information, so plenty of challenges to overcome for sure, but it largely has made for a more informed society and really empowered the average person despite the resurgence of authoritarianism.

CazRaX,

In other words parents need to be parents and take care of their kids, glad you agree with the OP.

Jknaraa,

Not sure why you’re taking a tone which suggests you think I don’t agree with you.

So there are laws that people agree with that say people under 18 cannot buy/see porn at the store. What makes this any different

thisisnotgoingwell,

Basically PH and other xxx sites need you to verify your identity by uploading your ID. It’s what should be unconstitutional and a violation of privacy.

Gooey0210,

Probably the bigger issue is the centralization of the internet

If we would have some more decentralized way of consuming content, then it would be harder to censor or control it

The internet nowadays is essentially just google, facebook, and pornhub

So applying a rule you can just target one company which will comply anyway because this is communism

I believe the responsibility should be on the parents to keep their children from viewing porn before they’re 18. Not the government. I also believe there should be at least some control over what minors have access to. Will it ever be 100%? Nope. All we can do is the best we can do

Gooey0210,

And this one too of course

What i was just trying to say was about governments trying to put restrictions in the name of kids, anti-terrorism, etc

The same way they can’t “protect” people from torrenting sites, here they are trying to protect kids from nsfw

Of course parents need to educate their kids themselves, tell them what good and bad, and be in contact with their kids

Or at least parents can set up parent mode on kids devices, or home network dns filtering

Sacrificing privacy of millions in the name of minority which will find their way anyway is ridiculous

Dempf,

That was the opinion of the Supreme Court nearly 20 years ago in Ashcroft vs. ACLU, but here we are.

PropaGandalf,

Yeah fuck the state. Only overprotective, power hungry loosers work there anyways.

ImplyingImplications,

It’s like mandating all cars need to have an ignition interlock because some people drive drunk.

taladar,

The difference is that the people involved there are adults and there is no equivalent to the parent responsible for their behaviour so a technical solution makes more sense there.

pugsnroses77,

or a real example that most newer cars have a “check rear seat for occupant” alert because some people forget their babies in the backseat and they die…

ElBarto,
@ElBarto@sh.itjust.works avatar

This is a world for children, a world that adults have to keep alive.

captainlezbian,

This is a world for everyone in it. We shouldn’t actively make it hostile to children, but we also shouldn’t be prioritizing forcing every aspect of it to fit their needs.

Our need to keep it alive isn’t just for children, it’s for everyone, which is also completely unrelated to censorship of sexual content

Serinus,

Especially since parenting is the only thing that’s going to actually work. Do you think kids won’t figure out a VPN? If they heard enough to type “pornhub”, they’ll hear about the one extra step.

And there are worse things on the Internet than porn. Some likely on Roblox.

You’re just going to have to parent your kid with or without this nanny state blocking scheme.

pulls out heh

Extrasvhx9he,

Ha

There’s also this gem at the end

Aylo can expect that law enforcement will continue watching Pornhub closely

ETA : if you don’t read arstechnica, really , you should

jaybone,

Also rages on.
