13 downvotes, zero replies. Interesting.
I do not care. I’ve seen and felt personally the effects of Pornography, and I will never back down against it.
To be clear, I do not believe the government should be allowed to censor media, or that the whatever American political party is behind a law.
All I know is that as long as children have access to pornography, I will fight to my dying breath against it.
Why? Simple. I do not want another human being to experience what I have.
So, downvote me all you like.
I wish everyone a pleasant day.

As someone who has struggled with addiction to lust and pornography from a very young age, I’m disappointed by some of the reactions I’m seeing here.
- Comment on Kids Online Safety Act will allow Attorney Generals to Censor the News. 1 year ago:
Facts. Just talking to educated people today, it is clear that there is a major disparity in knowledge and understanding when it comes to technology.
And yeah. Download Tor for free and bada-bing bada-boom, your kid now has access to not only the entire internet, but also the actual dark side of the Internet. Which is arguably an even worse environment than just straight-up internet.
For now, the only real solution is good parenting. Which again, as you mentioned, is getting harder and harder.
Somewhat off-topic, but the general trend of anti-family sentiment in society troubles me for a number of reasons.

Until kids learn to bypass Net Nanny by using the Tor network.
I think the system is broken, but my opinion isn’t of much value as I don’t have a solution for the problem. It’s a classic debate question.

I appreciate the comment!
If you’ve ever been a kid with stricter parents, you’ll know that there’s always a way around child-proofing. It’s an unfortunate reality. Additionally, if you’ve ever been in a school, you’ll know that if you add ‘unblocked’ to the end of your Google search, you’ll find exactly what you wanted to find. Restrictions can only go so far. (Sorry, I don’t mean this to sound snarky.)
I believe there is a fine line between censorship and limited availability. For instance, many of the internet’s ‘big brother’ algorithms will recommend suggestive content right off the bat. I think, (and this is my personal opinion) that larger services such as social media sites, search engines, etc. should be held responsible for the content that their platform shows to children. I definitely think that a little checkbox saying “I’m over 18” is a token effort at best.
I’m conflicted on this matter, as I believe strongly in privacy and anonymity and in the open, collaborative nature of the Internet; but, on the other hand, allowing children unfettered access to said Internet has been proven to be a bad idea. So, I’m somewhat undecided on the issue as far as the role of government or the role of service providers.
Parental roles are clear, however. Thanks for your comment ant have a lovely evening.

Precisely! Modernized, relevant internet safety courses! The current systems, at least what I’ve experienced, have really amounted to “don’t talk to strange people in chat rooms” and I…
Oh.

Is there an r/woosh alternative?
- Comment on Kids Online Safety Act will allow Attorney Generals to Censor the News. 1 year ago:
I think everyone can agree that child safety is important. But the fact internet as it stands is not safe for kids is completely undeniable.
As always, however, censorship is not the solution, especially not if it’s headed by government. I’m honestly not sure what the solution is.

Actually, if it would mean that they’d stop asking me for money every time I use it, I could get behind that
- Comment on Britons place low value on teaching children obedience, study finds 1 year ago:
It’s nice to meet someone willing to have a real, civilized discussion, even though we have different views. Thank you. I just wanted to clarify what I meant in the first quote. Breaking laws, purely for the sake of breaking laws accomplishes nothing. Breaking laws in order to help someone is another matter, and I agree, is justified (to an extent). I have a lot of respect for the law, and I understand that many people do not share that respect. But I agree that the sole purpose of the law is to codify and mediate justice. And if there is an unjust law, it should be made just. Thanks for discussing with me! I really appreciated your points! Many people treat debates as a competition to be won, but I prefer to see them as opportunities to learn about yourself and others and to be able to think critically!
- Comment on Britons place low value on teaching children obedience, study finds 1 year ago:
I agree, but I would rephrase. I think it is the duty of citizens to reform unjust laws and use the legal avenues available to us to address the issue. Breaking laws, in and of itself, accomplishes nothing.
I appreciated your comment! Thanks. Have an excellent day.
- Comment on Britons place low value on teaching children obedience, study finds 1 year ago:
Great point! I would like to add that obedience could also be about obedience to laws, or collective values. Or, it could be obedience or respect for an authority. Take the Charter of Rights and freedoms, for example. Obedience to the authority of that document ensures that the rights of the individual are respected, as well as the laws governing those rights and freedoms. Without obedience and respect for the document, and to the courts and laws of the land, a society falls apart
Now, I’m speaking philosophically, this couldn’t happen to the UK. I’m just presenting another perspective! Thank you for your point, and have a lovely day! Best wishes.

That’s a good point, I hadn’t considered that! Have a lovely day.
- Comment on Britons place low value on teaching children obedience, study finds 1 year ago:
If legal methods of reforming those laws are available, then they should be adhered to. Otherwise, we’re talking about a revolution against a corrupt government, which is a different matter entirely.
Thanks for your perspective, I hadn’t considered that. Have a lovely day!
- Comment on Britons place low value on teaching children obedience, study finds 1 year ago:
Um… yes, I think that is technically and historically correct, but…
I’m personally a big fan of laws. I think good laws and the teaching of virtue is an important part of the construction of a good society.

What if, instead of perpetuating the narrative of diet culture and “healthy food” vs. “junk food”, we worked harder to provide food for those who actually need food. What if, and hear me out here, we educated people on making healthy decisions and more importantly, maintaining a healthy, positive relationship with food and their bodies?
