  you take 15 minutes out of your goddamn day to do your job as a parent, and set up a content blocker on your home network.

  Or, I don’t know, talk to your kid?

    Oh absolutely but that’s a parent’s decision. They might decide to be a crap parent and do the minimum amount of effort possible but if they’re going to do that then they should be the ones to install the blocker not the government.

    I remember when they tried to introduce a similar law in the UK and absolutely nothing ended up happening because it’s utterly unworkable.

  Can’t you just use a VPN to get past a content block? Sounds exactly like a project a 14 year old me would research

    Teaching the youth to protect their Internet identity feels like a win.

        There is no such thing as a perfect country

        Really like the look of China’s HSR though

    Perhaps, but most of the good ones are paid, and I would try to set up some way to monitor the internet traffic if I really wanted to go that far.

  Nah, it’s easier if I have the state do it for me while inconveniencing everyone else. /s

  Like the average person has a clue how to configure a content blocker. LOL

    Not sure why you’re being downvoted, you’re right. The average parent has no idea how to block their kids from visiting pornhub. I don’t think that’s an excuse to make age verification required. Parents should educate themselves on this stuff.
