I'm not trying to defend this law, but I feel like there is a way to do this without invading privacy. Like selling a cryptographic key at stores for a few bucks at a store, which checks your id. IDK? I assume the goal is not actually to keep kids from watching porn but rather to have a chilling effect on it
The question is why. You can't stop kids from watching it. People get it one way or another. This does nothing than cause mild dips in viewership.
And frankly the kind of stuff on law abiding sites like PH is not doing any noticeable harm anyway. Raising awareness on sexual education if anything.
Most kids begin watching/experimenting around 14. Around 16 is when they should have sex ed and 18 is adulthood anyway. What's the point?
Not comparable but we are back to the "video games cause violence" nonsense.
Sometimes kids just dont need government protection. This is one of those times.
