  Parental controls exist. Why should single adults be forced to jump through hoops because most parents are lazy fucks who don’t take responsibility for their kids?

    These laws aren’t a response to a real problem. The kids are fine. The parents are usually fine. These laws are posturing at best.

    Because it’s always a few fuckwits ruining it for the rest.

  Then have the ISPs provide an interface to set which devices can access porn. No ID required.

    Or even simples. Just like you have a guest WiFi, have a kids WiFi and an adult wifi

      Which has been possible for decades now. People are just so dumb and lazy they rather accept a deep invasion of everyone’s privacy.

        Yes. But honestly one of the main complains I’ve seen is not that this is wrong, but that they passed the law without having planned how they should do it while keeping the users safe and private.

        Having a WiFi for kids and WiFi for adults could achieve the desired result without really compromising privacy (I think, but I’m not sure), or even enhancing it, since using Facebook on a kids WiFi would mean that Facebook thinks that you are a kids and KONWS they can’t legally track you

        Also we could change some dumb rules on other like no posting nudity, since now if a user is using an adult WiFi, they should be treaded as adults. Want to post nudes on twitter? Sure, tag it as such and only adults will see them

        In 5minutes on Lemmy we have come up with better ideas than the current law. They didn’t think about this nor heard the critics that have been saying this is a bad idea for years

        But then again. What can we expect from people that trus t electronic voting

    Your ISP doesn’t see which device accesses the Internet. They only see their router.

    OTOH, most routers already have features to block websites for specific client devices. But good luck putting the onus on the parents to configure that properly.

      They can see and manage the router remotely no reason why they couldn’t do it. Mine let’s me turn off the router lights, change the WiFi password or turn of the WiFi all together.

        How do you think this will go down? Parents calling the ISP with “please unblock porn sites for me”? I see various things why this won’t work. From ISPs not wanting to increase the number of service calls over Apple’s Private WiFi MAC addresses to these kind of customers not even knowing how their devices appear on the router. Nah, completely unfeasible.
