Anyone trying to access online pornography in Louisiana must prove their age using a government ID, thanks to a new state law that went into effect at the beginning of the year.

Sharing your driver's license with some sketchy porn site? Sounds smart to me. Also, I guess Louisiana never heard of a web proxy.

I'm not as anti-porn as most people here. I'm not really pro-porn and I think it's worth talking about the negative effects it can have on men if they consume too much of it or watch the really degenerate shit, but I don't think watching a moderate amount of the vanilla stuff is a big deal. It's the lesser of the two evils compared to dealing the modern woman to get your rocks off, since only Chad and Tyrone can do so consistently without subjecting themselves to relationshits.

“As homophobia and transphobia — especially homophobia in the context of porn — is rising, I could totally see the state zeroing in on people consuming gay porn, or lesbian porn, and either surveilling them further or criminalizing that.” — Olivia Snow, internet theory researcher and sex worker, to TechCrunch

But of course it's Yahoo, so they only care because the fags are inconvenienced. Won't someone think of the fags?

I think the final throwaway quote about fags and troons is just to meet the author's DIE quota because 90% of the rest of the article was quoting tradcons giddy about killing the porn dragon.

I don't think most people here are.

Are good relationships impossible?

Isn't the 'UK style' simply clicking a box that says "Yes I am totes 18 let me see boobies"?

There are repeated attempts to implement stricter [general] controls online that get specifically connected to porn in a way that things are being done to "prevent children accessing material they shouldn't" when in fact every attempt in the past has not only failed to achieve this but also fucked up tangentially related topics like with sex education because those materials get caught in the same filters.

Fair point. It's pretty much the law that the UK has been trying to pass for the last several years.

No need to force age verification - Just create statutes allowing parents to sue porn sites for delivering porn to their children. The porn sites will figure out age verification on their own real quick.

This is how it should be done.

Agreed, but the answer is having better tools for parents to control what their kids see online, not to sanitize the Internet.

It's not about banning porn, it never was. It's about putting controls in place so someone in charge can decide what you do and do not get access to. Porn is simply a useful avenue to attempt it by going full pearl clutch mode with "Think of the children!" regardless of the fact that anyone motivated enough will manage to see anything they want online.

Once those controls are there then the list of topics you aren't allowed to access increases as will the scope of groups affected by it.

Exactly.

The establishment pretends to fret about the innocence of the children while overnight every municipal library on the continent suddenly hosts all-ages Drag Shows.

That is simply not very practical. You can't have a sanitized subsection. Even if you make sure your kids don't see porn, he'll have classmates who will gladly show him.

add a "nsfw" and "sfw" tag to internet traffic as part of a new standard.

add router tools to block traffic based on these tags (and others, why not)

create normie accessible tools to set these settings, advertise it to parents

with this, parents now have the ability to protect their kids from 90% of the porn on the internet. porn is also something that the kids try to keep private, and get bullied for if it gets mentioned in school, so I'm not too worried about " kids sharing porn with other kids"

There's just so much of it now, I don't see how you can stop it. It'd be even harder than banning drugs. You could definitely do something to stop mainstream portals like reddit from hosting the stuff yeah. Porn is used for grooming too. The app store terms today are completely fake and arbitrary. But people would find it on other sites. You'd need either really draconian penalties for letting minors access porn, or filter tools applied at the ISP level.

And they won't, because sites like that curate the really fucked up shit for their troon userbase. Fucking over straight men is one thing, but they're not going cross the alphabet mafia.

You vastly overestimate how much they care about anything but money.

Rest assured that all of wokery will collapse instantly as long as there is a cost attached to it.
