But I don't think allowing children to have unlimited access to porn is the hill to die on.
The hill isn't for porn access, it's for ID requirements to access websites. I think pretty much everyone in this thread agrees that something should be done about children accessing porn and there are disagreements over the right way to do that. One thing is clear, porn sites are abusing the inherent trust the internet was built on to prey on kids.
 
ok how would you stop kids accessing porn without their parents watching their literal every move 24/7
Children aren't born with a smartphone or tablet in their hands, my dude.
"But what if they have a friend who-"
Than you tell them they aren't allowed to hang out with that friend.

It's called raising a child. At some point, that child is going to become an adult and a lot of parents seem to forget this fact when talking about parenting.
 
Their margins tend to be pretty thin so you need a lot of users. He could probably at least break even and he could make it so it sidesteps tor requirements if there are DNS issues in the future. I know a lot of people hate using the Tor browser.
TOR has gotten a lot better since I first started using it like a decade ago. I feel like TOR speeds were super slow a decade ago. Mind you, I didn't start using it regularly until that hack on the forums happened.

The TOR team is also working on updating the code base by re-writing it in rust. I have a ton of connection issues with that. But hopefully in the future, TOR is faster and more secure. Well, more secure than it is already.

ok dude because you are definitely in control of what they do at school where they disappear for like 8 hours a day
 
this already happens nigga do you think they can't trace your ip
If someone suddenly got a hold of the entirety of Kiwifarms, including account information, it would be difficult to tie this account to me personally. You are basically a "well the government knows everything so no harm in giving them more" type. In some parts of the internet they call people like you "nigger cattle."

Schizotheory but I believe the Tor network has gotten faster because governments and other data oriented institutions have set up favored nodes to make it easier to unravel the traffic and it's no longer mostly comprised of mostly volunteers and their personal servers. I think it's still far more effective for privacy and anonymity than almost everything else.
 
Wow. Totally not easily manipulated.
the part that comes right after that that you conveniently left out was "would find that the work, taken as a whole, appeals to the prurient interest" which in layman's terms means if it's porn.

go to any person on earth and show them a video of a girl sucking cock and ask them if it's porn. Or better yet, just ask yourself "if i showed this to a minor, would i get a sex offender charge?" pretty simple standard we already use for child sex cases.

Ignoring the rise of home schooling, part of being a parent is keeping tabs on what your child is doing when they're not around.
But that would require you actually engage your child in meaningful conversation which cuts into your "me time".

There are people who believe Michelangelo's David to be pornographic.
 
Look, I freely admit I like looking at naked women more than I probably should but that doesn't mean I want my son to do the same. I want my son to be better than I am.

One thing is clear, porn sites are abusing the inherent trust the internet was built on to prey on kids.
But the people who fear monger about the ID for porn don't offer any solutions, just sci fi tales of the future where the internet requires an ID just to make a simple google search. It just seems unreasonable to me. It would be one thing if someone had any idea of an alternative to the ID requirement for porn but most of the time the people arguing against it are clearly just seething that their porn will be harder to access.

Why is it okay for an ID to be required to buy alcohol or weed online but it's not okay to require an ID to watch porn? I don't see people arguing that requiring an ID for liquor and weed online is going to lead to ultimate doom and a blanket requirement over the whole internet.
