thats like, work and stuff.
Honest answer privacy and security the more often a person has to give out their personal details the more likely they are to have them stolen further as much as the internet is already a privacy nightmare giving the people who will be serving you porn your real name and address is a deeply uncomfortable idea. It is also very different showing your ID to a bored store clerk than sending it to be potentially filed in a database. It further ties what you do online to your real life and further normalizes the de-anonymization of the internet. There are real trade offs involved here.
If the government really wanted this solved I genuinely believe all they really would have to do is have filtering be something your isp or cell phone provider asks if you would like to opt into the tools already exist and could be made better simply by requiring porn sites to identify themselves as such. there was a proposal floated in the nineties for example to have pornographic sites use the domain name .XXX
Reminder that the American federal government spent $1.7b to set up the Obamacare website. You know, the one that didn't even fucking work.
I don't see your point. Kids get molested despite the laws in place, so... get rid of the laws because they don't stop all child rapes? You're a silly.
Bongs never had a First Amendment, so it's apples to oranges. The First Amendment doesn't protect obscenity and it never has. These morons are just angry they won't be able to jerk off anymore without the state making sure they aren't underage.
nigger, for hate speech to not be considered free speech you'd have to misinterpret the 1st amendment, for Porn to not be considered free speech you just have to interpret it correctly.
yeah nigga you need to literally be over your kids shoulder 24/7 or you're a bad parent
oh well you don't really need to watch porn anyway wake me when you have to do it for twitter or whatever then maybe there's a problem
The problem is, they aren't just "asking for your ID" like a bouncer, they're storing your ID. They will then associate everything on your account with you personally and when that data is leaked, the company may have to pay a fine but so what, the damage is going to go well beyond that. As nice as it is to say "Well they shouldn't be looking at that stuff," that boils down to the same argument of "nothing to hide, nothing to fear." Which doesn't hold up.
Yeah, cool. Hey, anyone here remember Roe v. Wade? Anyway, glad to know that the SCOTUS is infallible.
again you can avoid this by not watching porn this is like getting mad at someone looking at your ID to buy cigarettes when nobody is making you buy cigarettes
He thinks it's going to stop at porn.
Just give the little beasts an ipad with no parental controls so you can get some of that ever important "me time."
Not really surprised. It's also full of people who scream about "the slippery slope of gay marriage lead to your kids trooning out" but scream about how the slippery slope is a fallacy when it comes to the government stripping away your rights.
If you think that, than you're a retard.
The first amendment either protects all free speech or it really protects no free speech, it's that simple. "But nuh uh you can't threaten people!" You should be able to and the person you threaten should be within their rights to respond with equal or greater force in turn based on perceived danger.
Nope don't see a single line like "except for when sex or nudity is being discussed or depicted". The argument in support of obscenity laws being constitutional is solely that the founding fathers never would have classified obscenity as speech. Frankly I don't believe judges can talk to the dead and the founding fathers disagreed about a lot of things. Frankly I doubt Franklin or Jefferson would have agreed they were both perverts.
Except that's not what the Supreme Court has said over and over. Obscenity is not protected. Calling Obama a nigger on Kiwi Farms is.
there are a lot of reasonable regulations that have stopped where they should have stopped so i don't see why it wouldn't be the case here. if anything i think platforms requiring ID would be less of a legal thing and more of a thing they just do because they can get away with it
