While I agree wholeheartedly with this, it’s often not that easy.
Back in the days of 28.8 modems my parents found my little bro’s downloaded porn stash. It was in a Zip disk in his underwear drawer. They then locked down both of our AOL accounts so we couldn’t see that stuff.
I thought this was bullshit because I kept my Zip disk full of porn next to all the other ones and labeled it “Homework.” Why should I get punished if I didn’t get caught?
So I downloaded a keylogger, stole my dad’s password, and unlocked my account and continued to download porn.
However, I don’t think government regulation would have worked in my case.

That’s the other issue, kids will find ways around it they always have when it comes to restrictions.

Tell some kid they get all the porn they want if they figure out fusion power and we’d have it in a fortnight.
Took me about that long to figure out how to boot up silently, resume downloads, and shutdown the pc before my dad woke up for work.
