I grew up in a conservative community and only got a broader world view from monitored internet access. I probably would have been more suicidal without it.

And I don’t think that would change if a system was implemented. That’s not to say the future and future governments might change things for the worst.

Major child traffickers are adults AND the elites who were doing before the internet. Porn will always exist and pubescent kids will always seek it out. Annorexia is more the direct result of Hollywood beauty standards and predatory marketers targeting insecure girls, also existed before the internet.

While all true, the Internet as it stands puts this directly and en masse into childrens hands without a fuss and worse, grooms children via algorithms down dark paths.

I think Th4tGuyII’s comment in here is the most pragmatic response and something the government should have started out doing.

If there weren’t so many puritanical zealouts out there, especially in positions of power, I think we’d probably be in a better position now.
