Putting age gates on the Internet is indeed pretty authoritarian though, and starting with porn is only the beginning
Sorgan71@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Not authoitarian at all. Its the bare minimum
solsangraal@lemmy.zip 5 months ago
this is the textbook definition of government overreach, forcing everyone to play nanny state because republicans can’t control their little shitlings internet use
the fact that you think for one second that this bullshit will stop kids from accessing porn demonstrates how clueless all these cromagnon chuds are about how the internet actually works.
InternetUser2012@midwest.social 5 months ago
We need to do the same thing with any religious sites as well. Kids shouldn’t be exposed to that crap without parental guidance either. It is however a massive waste of resources and time since kids are smarter than the idiots making the laws and will very very easily bypass this and laugh in the faces of the fascist fucks that think they’re controlling people while watching whatever porn they want. Get fucked.

It’s absolutely authoritarian. You’re an idiot if you think otherwise. I’m not even going to offer an argument, you’re just stupid.

How shitty a parent are you to either not know how to work parental controls or better… to talk to your kids about healthy attitudes towards sex?*
*besides abstinence
alex@lemm.ee 5 months ago
Yeah, my parents had the talk with me when they found my physical, irl folder of printed hentai art (this was like, 2002ish and I didn’t have my own PC and I didn’t have a Pornstation Portable sadly (PSP))
The “talk” was my parents sitting me down, telling me what my mom found, and then my mom getting up and telling my dad to talk to me about it, and she left, and then my dad just told me not to look at it until I was older and that was it -__-
Boomer parenting hell yeah
pete_the_cat@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Parental controls are easy to get around in most cases, and kids are generally smarter than (most) adults when it comes to tech. I remember back in the days of AOL my dad enabled Parental Controls on my account. Pissed that my tween self couldn’t look at low resolution pictures of naked women I figured out quickly how to remedy that: I downloaded a keylogger which ran in the background of Windows all the time and when I heard the famous “Welcome! You’ve got mail!” I waited until he signed off, jumped on the PC, opened the keylog file, found a string of text that looked like a password (no one was using complex passwords back then, usually just a word or two), signed on to his account, and then re-enabled full access on my account.

AutistoMephisto@lemmy.world 5 months ago
This. It’s like, do these people think kids aren’t interested in that stuff? Like, I remember getting an abstinence talk during my freshman year. I remember being told how awesome sex was, but also to wait. And even still, nearly everyone was fucking everyone else in my graduating class.

Covering a kids ears when you swear like they don’t already know more swear words than the parent does. When I was a kid, if there were no adults around we swore like fucking sailors.
mmagod@lemmy.world 5 months ago
wildly understated too…
like… middle school kids today navigated mobile devices with ease when they were toddlers…
they’re gonna know what a vpn is before they leave high school.
we’re just better off addressing the issue head on than trying to band-aid it… it won’t work
Lightor@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Yes and let’s put ID verification on anything that might have curses too. Can’t risk a parent not sheltering their child hard enough.
BigPotato@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Actually, can we get ID verification for voice chat in online shooters?
Shit would sound like a church in COD.

funny-- people say the same thing about guns, but the reply is “NOOOOO but what about the LaW aBiDiNg CiTiZeNs”
LemmysMum@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Yes, they should step in, and direct those parents not the rest of society that isn’t a failure to their children.
trafficnab@lemmy.ca 5 months ago
It’s almost like conservatives refusing to teach their children to have a healthy relationship with sex (sexual health, importance of consent, etc) is fucking them up, and banning porn is a shitty attempted bandaid solution for their inability to properly raise their children
pyre@lemmy.world 5 months ago
yes it is; that’s exactly what it is. kids is the go-to reason fascists give to censor, ban, burn books, discriminate against people and control people’s bodies and lives. it’s not a coincidence that “children” is one of the 14 words.

Traister101@lemmy.today 5 months ago
It’s not stopping anybody. If you are a horny enough 13 year old you’ll find it on any platform. Speaking from experience YouTube, Instagram, Reddit (obviously lemmy as well) and in short the rest of them can be pretty easily used to access porn. It’s not allowed on for example YouTube but it’s still there or it manages to be technically allowed through being “educational content”. Obviously we aren’t talking about like Brazzers or whatever being directly uploaded but there’s definitely naked people doing proactive things.

How would you as a parent prevent your kids from accessing porn?
bearded_zero@lemmy.world 5 months ago
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.
howrar@lemmy.ca 5 months ago
Anyone smart enough to get around that would also be smart enough to get around whatever the government does to block it.
Thermal_shocked@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Most routers have parental controls. We sites have categories, and you can explicitly block those sites. You can use 3rd party dns tools like nextdns. Lots of parental software you can install that can limit PC use, sites, tracking, etc. you can blacklist sites too. Lots of granular control and access levels so you don’t block yourself too.

It is if the parents wont do anything about it.
