Saying something is not a solution does not mean the government doing anything is a solution.
That reasoning is exactly how we get all these government measures.
I agree that parents aren't doing their job, but that doesn't give governments the right to step in. People are imperfect, many are retarded. And plenty of those retards are in government. Giving retards power over me just because someone else is being a retard is not the answer.
Laws generally hit the people who don't need them hardest anyway. Yeah, sure, fuck all of us over because parents are stupid...and will continue to be stupid after this law passes.
You really think the people that are currently letting their children have unrestricted access won't also be the parents who will sign off on letting their kids have unrestricted access after this?
This solves nothing, and gives the government more control over the flow of information, which is exactly what they want.

It's that simple. Letting the government do something just because something needs to be done makes things worse, not better. This isn't a solution, so it's a moot point.

Fine, then what is?
Pressure the ISPs?
Neighborhood watch to slap phones out of hands?
I'm just going to quote myself here:

Where did I say the word "government"? We need a solution.
You're saying this government bill is a solution.
You're not getting it, and you're not addressing any of my points.
"We need a solution," leads to terrible solutions. Even if there's a problem, sometimes the least bad thing is still leaving things how they were.
