Governments should not be taking on parental duties.
+1 here, friend. Spread the word.
Perhaps, but too many parents are terrible at their jobs.
Would you argue the same thing with other age restrictions, such as buying alcohol/drugs, driver's licenses, or child labour?
Watching porn ... terrorism.
I think I'm missing a few steps here.
I'm making the assumption that you're not deliberately daft enough to conflate the two issues of "a cheeky tug looking at some low resolution grot" and "mass casualty attack planning", but surely you must see the difference between harmful content and porn, and why measures should be taken (however easy to circumvent) to disrupt terrorism or other large-scale atrocities?
Those are crimes. I don't think it's a crime for a kid to look at pornography.
Fuzzy space (not that one), a lot of places it might get squished into the enabling/promoting deliqancy type rules. If you give beer/smokes to an underage kid you can be tagged for it.
On a practical level proving any of the above is near impossible, but it might get you on the local's radar if it keeps being accused.
I do think we have it backwards in America where prime time crime drama is no problem but everyone freaks out over a butt cheek, but at the same time it's not healthy to let little kids dig into some things unguided and before they're ready.
We should be charging parents if their kids are that bad.
What? It is not illegal for children to access pornography. It is at best illegal for people to allow children access to pornography. (Outside of countries where pornography is banned outright)
