Yup, just more “small government” BS. They want a government small enough to fit in your pocket and watch everything you do, but not big enough to reign in the businesses and those who contribute to their wallets.

I have kids, I don’t want them watching porn too young, but at the same time I’m not stupid enough to think that age blocking major websites is going to keep them out of it at all. This is nothing but theater, and it’s an invasion of privacy while they’re acting.

The only way to stop teenagers from watching porn is…

Uhh I don’t think there’s a way.

Conservatives are on a big kick for so-called “parental rights” but what about parental responsibilities? It’s a parent’s job to make sure their children have a healthy relationship with sexuality.

Back in my day you could find porn in the woods. You’ll never stop teenagers finding porn.

If all the major sites comply with the proposed law, all it means is that teenagers will be pushed to more sketchy sites that don’t have restrictions. This combined with conservatives destroying sex ed is not good for anyone.

It’s always that way.

The people who scream the loudest about " muh rights" never want to acknowledge that rights come with responsibilities.

And never seem to want to demonstrate that they can act in a responsible manner.

It’s going to drive young people to less reputable porn sites with much more questionable materials.

The world is heating up, corporations are taking control of our lives, AI is going to change our world, food is expensive, wars are breaking out while countries are trusting each other less and people can’t afford a house and life is just getting more and more miserable for those at the bottom … and one of the most important topics right now is PORN?

He stopped wearing his glasses to look less smart, and it seems to be working.

I wouldn’t say that, he was ostracized by his party for suggesting they fix elections so Harper doesn’t lose

Trying to squeeze those last few boomer votes, what a shitbag. The joke writes itself.

The proposed law would require websites to verify users’ ages before they can access sexually explicit content, and it would penalize sites that don’t comply.

But it does not specify how that would be done.

suggestions have prompted widespread concern from privacy experts about their overarching impacts

The Conservatives have not proposed any alternatives for how porn sites could verify users’ ages without such systems.
