You think that if kids can’t get to pornhub they will go to sites explicitly for abuse? Thats quite a stretch, why do you think that?

I guess you could argue the other soldiers are already in too deep? Is that punching down then in this case?

I also agree with you, I just didnt have anything to add. Its sad but I have to say its not surprising, the reaction you are getting.

Trains and buses.

They are allowed, and we are allowed to think they are shitty for treating other humans that way.

Oh I get it so pornhub has the okay kind of CSAM, got it. You keep digging that hole my man.

I disagree that the effects are negligible. Trouble forming relationships and having expectations that dont match reality are hard things to overcome. We are extremely social as a species so you should take that a bit more seriously.

As for CSAM, rape, and anything else like that, its already on pornhub and other sites. If you watch porn on those sites the chances are you’ve accidentally seen some of it. Thats without mentioning the abuse of power situations that lead to people being in porn they’d rather not be.

If you were born 20 years earlier you’d get to destroy the planet and die before there was any consequences?

The kids will be fine, they are smarter and more capable than those that came before them, every time. The real problem is people living so long they aren’t making room for the young people. Think turnover at a restaurant, and all the diners finished eating and paid but won’t leave.

There aren’t worse sites. The current way porn is presented is with no restrictions. Addind restrictions won’t push kids to “worse sites”. Kids dont need porn to begin with, acting like they will find it and abuse it no matter what is an awfully bleak take. Do you assume that all kids are going to try hard drugs too? How about armed robbery? Maybe we should keep drugs and guns in as public a place as possible so parents can “monitor” kids using it easier.

I’d have to hear a good example of more damaging leaks, unless you just mean linking people to their porn history?

Kids won’t access worse porn because they won’t even be aware of it to begin with. Pornhub and the like have some awful categories that I’m sure you are aware of. All this stuff front and center on such well known and easy to access websites is not okay when its obvious children will end up there.

Porn advocates should feel lucky they had a “golden age” where kids were discovering porn completely on their own by the age of 10. Personally I dont think thats a societal benefit and its not helping men especially.

It gets the main public porn sites back to being private sites for adults. There was always other ways to get porn but that doesnt make the change negligible.

Corporations dont want to do this, it costs money. We can talk about possible misuses of data if you’d like but I’d say we are swimming in an ocean of misuse at this point.

I’m saying people are selfish because this type of stuff has happened over and over and noone cares, but as soon as it affects porn the internet throws a tantrum. Sorry for noticing a pattern there but it seems like people won’t admit how addicted to porn they really are.

Considering there are other options for age verification I’d imagine companies using face scan tech will take a huge hit in traffic. I doubt that will be a mainstream way of doing it, as it barely makes sense to begin with.

Is it though? Seems funny to me that porn websites had to hang up “no kids” signs and now people are claiming its an issue about freedom and privacy.

Just to be clear, you are arguing that 17 year olds dating is somehow worse than consuming porn?

Thats absurd, you can’t raise hell and get some sort of exception? I’d be angry.

Well bless your heart for warning them, they might get into trouble if they talk to me! Oh no!

I can’t speak for people using the law to also target lgbtq people, it doesnt seem to be the goal of it but I’ll accept that there will be people who try to twist it. At this point it seems literally everything is twisted against that community.

As for the dark web, its so unpopular I dont consider it having a societal effect but If there was a site or service on there popular enough that it shows up in regular life for non-tech users, then yes it should regulated. I’m not for banning content, but rules and regulation can mitigate negative effects of something like widely available pornography.

I hate to break it to you but they dont need your cc or a picture of your face, porn websites make a lot of money off selling user data, and it regularly gets combined with other applications to identify you. Ever wonder how peoples porn accounts have been linked to them publicly?

This is about putting the responsibility on site owners to do their best to ensure content is appropriate for children or that it is unavailable to children.

This is simply people throwing a fit about “my freedoms”. Noone here actually cares about other people or society in general, just selfishness.

If personal privacy is that important to you then download your porn from torrents, or just dont watch it. Porn isn’t a necessity. You aren’t owed porn.
