It’s like watching a clown show. Maybe he should watch more porn and grow up.

That headline is... incredibly inaccurate. They've pledged to each other to avoid porn, and have software that throws an alarm (visible to each other) if they view it.

"Monitor Each Other's Porn Intake" implies that they are seeking out porn and sharing it with each other, which is not what is happening here.

I think there are plenty of legitimate concerns here, but father and son sharing porn links is not one of them.

Also, I imagine young Mr. Johnson has at least 1 Android tablet or other burner device that is unknown to Dad.

I mean when I read "monitoring each other's porn intake" I assumed it meant "monitoring how much porn each other watches". And considering who it was, I assumed that was for the sake of making sure that they didn't watch any porn. I did not at any point think that they were sharing porn links with each other, because that's generally not what monitoring someone's intake means.

I assumed it meant they each keep tabs to make sure the other gets just enough porn each day but not too much.

Daaaaaaaaad you've exceeded your porn allowance for the day and it's not even elevensies yet! 😠

Now this is the quality sarcasm that has disappeared from Reddit! Stay witty, mon ami!

Edit: this is my high way of saying, "LOL." 🤣

[–] QuaternionsRock@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

I, uh… I made the same assumption, but unfortunately it wasn’t sarcastic. I imagined it being like two bros that have an alcohol problem but don’t “believe” in rehab (whatever that means), so they make a deal to check each other’s recycle bins and call each other out when they’re not keeping it under 3 a day.

Intake implies there is some consumption to begin with

[–] Laticauda@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Not necessarily, it can also involve monitoring if there IS intake in the first place.

[–] SuckMyWang@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Yes good point. It still seems like an odd choice of word if that was the case though

“It sends a report to your accountability partner.

Depends on what is in that report. If it shows visited links. That would also make it pandering to a minor.
