Comment on Pornography depicting sexual relationships between step-relatives set to be banned

• toebert@piefed.social ⁨1⁩ ⁨hour⁩ ago

  There is no way the kids who grew up with technology in their lives from the start won’t find ways to work around it, especially when pitted against the people coming up with these legislations who struggle to understand the basics of technology.

  Even if kids were to be completely banned from the internet and it somehow magically was enforceable, they’d just end up buying physical porn.

  If they actually wanted improvement, they’d fund support for parents and the educational system so kids grow up in environments that teach them good values and feel safe in. But instead, we get this meaningless duct tape that’ll still probably cost a fortune for us, and will be unenforceable for anything but the biggest porn providers/distributors.

    This is why i support the age verificsrion already in place, and perhaps a social media ban for kids - if we prevent them from seeing porn in the first place then they may not seek it out at all. Kids should at least be educated on how dangerous it is before they have a chance to stumble upon it.

    So yes, they can locate it via VPNs and such, but that isn’t an argument against trying to prevent them from seeing the stuff in the first place.

    This doesn’t really line up with the experience of me or anyone my own age. Porn is popular because it’s on the screen and super easily accessible, like literally more easily accesible than food and water, lol.

    But besides: physical porn is less harmful than internet porn.

    • Are we talking playboy magazines? Static images > moving videos
    • Or maybe porn videos? Well assuming such sales points even exist anymore, and aren’t enforcing age rules on the products sold, I still thinm they’ll end ul with stuff less violent or psychologically dangerous than they’d be seeing on the internet
    • Alao, having to buy it from the get go makes it a much easier habit to manage. Rather than an addiction.

    If they actually wanted improvement, they’d fund support for parents and the educational system so kids grow up in environments that teach them good values and feel safe in.

    I do not feel good about getting the government to do nanny work for parents, as it has been disastrous so far. We should aim to get parents more time with their kids - e.g via a 4day work week - and we need to emohasis the importance of actually teaching your kids stuff rather than waiting for the government to do it.

  Idk what the ulterior motive is, but if your goal is to protect children this is like the third or fourth least damaging porn of all. Like ban all other fetishes first

    That’s a good point. I personally think the racial fetishes are particularly harmful to how people perceive and treat one another.
