    Agreed. The level of access children have to pornography is likely something that should be better controlled. We need to really think about how to solve the problem while still allowing people to use the services and maintain privacy.

      This is definitely one of those situations imo where such responsibility falls squarely on parents and inviting the government to handle such a thing will create far more issues than it would resolve.

        You are correct, parents should be involved. Also the tools parents are given to control access should be standardized, easy to use, and enforceable.

          I don’t know about anyone else but my ISP auto blocks pornography unless the account holder goes into the settings and enables it. They also block piracy sites, which again you can just disable the block in the settings, so I don’t know what the point in that is.

          It’s not a great solution because it’s either all or nothing but the options are already there if a little poorly implemented.

        Similar things can be said about alcohol, nicotine, driving a car, etc., but society recognizes that not all parents are responsible enough to make those decisions and have put up laws to protect the broader interests of society. It would be great if all parents could have a conservation about the harm that pornographty consumption has on development, but the fact that most fathers can’t even talk to their daughter about their periods (or mothers about their son’s problems) tells me that this probably isn’t going to happen.
