While I don't believe this should be handled by government (because of the eventual overreach) and should be handled by parents using parental controls to block sites they shouldn't be viewing, this will do fuck all to stop kids seeing porn without the whole 'parents actually supervising'.
Besides I'm still on the fence if online porn is more harmful to kids than most state education and educators...
The porn sites also participate in all those parental control programs like Net Nanny. It's not in their interest to be seen peddling their product to kids. Kids getting access to porn is 100% on the parents.
Thanks to the algorithms they're neck and neck. Regardless of where you start the algorithms will show content that's more and more fucked up, with tranny porn being the ultimate destination. Back in the day a 13 year old could search for "big boobs" and that's what he would get without being led down a fucked up path.
/d/ shows otherwise. Internet porn will always lead to fucked up shit, and always has at least since the 90s.
These people think porn has no negative effects. ItS jUsT lIkE vIdEo GaMeS
Where in this thread is anyone saying that? Do you feel no shame at all strawmanning that hard?
Porn is a vice, just like videogames and alcohol. mild consumption can relieve stress and provide entertainment, but over-indulgence absolutely has negative effects.
/d/ is a 4chan board I assume? I don't know anything about that. What I can tell you is that when I started using the internet you had to search for whatever you wanted. I never came across any really weird shit back then because it would have never crossed my mind to search for that and algorithms that deliberately lead to that content were still a decade away.
for me it was always a matter of time. The more time you spend on the internet, the more likely you were to run into the weird shit. for reasonably social kids and teenagers, this was never a big deal.
for socially awkward and self-isolated kids, running into the weird shit was an inevitability.
To offer a diametric argument. Back in the day there were far less sites to begin with, meaning it was easier to just stumble upon fucked up shit the moment you walked out of certain lanes. One of my buddies found Asian Scat Porn on AOL by sheer accident trying to find flash games.
So while you weren't being deliberately lead to fucked shit, you were also not being protected from it at times too.
I just think it's interesting that ISPs, search engines, big web sites, etc... do a much better job keeping people from finding (eg.) AmRen then pornhub.
I don't know what the solution is, but at some point parents start to notice all these people who say "there's nothing we can do" when it comes to making it hard for their kids to find porn are suddenly highly motivated to make it hard for you to find crime statistics broken down by race. Or evidence of election irregularities in 2020.
I would have told you "there's nothing we can do" about those "problems" 10 years ago, yet they found a way...
Yet another instance of "when 'reasonable' people fail to solve a problem normal people have, the problem doesn't just go away; it just falls to 'unreasonable' people to fix it."
amren?
American Renaissance. Jared Taylor's platform.
American Renaissance: Jared Taylor's organization. Links to the site get flagged as "unsafe" on twitter, and you have to send them cash through the mail to buy books and the like from them because all of their payment processing is cut off.
pornhub isn't dangerous.
