  • 13 downvotes, zero replies. Interesting.

    I do not care. I’ve seen and felt personally the effects of Pornography, and I will never back down against it.

    To be clear, I do not believe the government should be allowed to censor media, or that the whatever American political party is behind a law.

    All I know is that as long as children have access to pornography, I will fight to my dying breath against it.

    Why? Simple. I do not want another human being to experience what I have.

    So, downvote me all you like.

    I wish everyone a pleasant day.














  • Facts. Just talking to educated people today, it is clear that there is a major disparity in knowledge and understanding when it comes to technology.

    And yeah. Download Tor for free and bada-bing bada-boom, your kid now has access to not only the entire internet, but also the actual dark side of the Internet. Which is arguably an even worse environment than just straight-up internet.

    For now, the only real solution is good parenting. Which again, as you mentioned, is getting harder and harder.

    Somewhat off-topic, but the general trend of anti-family sentiment in society troubles me for a number of reasons.



  • I appreciate the comment!

    If you’ve ever been a kid with stricter parents, you’ll know that there’s always a way around child-proofing. It’s an unfortunate reality. Additionally, if you’ve ever been in a school, you’ll know that if you add ‘unblocked’ to the end of your Google search, you’ll find exactly what you wanted to find. Restrictions can only go so far. (Sorry, I don’t mean this to sound snarky.)

    I believe there is a fine line between censorship and limited availability. For instance, many of the internet’s ‘big brother’ algorithms will recommend suggestive content right off the bat. I think, (and this is my personal opinion) that larger services such as social media sites, search engines, etc. should be held responsible for the content that their platform shows to children. I definitely think that a little checkbox saying “I’m over 18” is a token effort at best.

    I’m conflicted on this matter, as I believe strongly in privacy and anonymity and in the open, collaborative nature of the Internet; but, on the other hand, allowing children unfettered access to said Internet has been proven to be a bad idea. So, I’m somewhat undecided on the issue as far as the role of government or the role of service providers.

    Parental roles are clear, however. Thanks for your comment ant have a lovely evening.
