    Another point, if protecting children online is indeed a legitimate argument, and not an scapegoat to make passing the law easier, shouldn't be the parents to decide what the children see online?

      Same argument made for every form of media that ever existed.

      Issue comes when xealots refuses to allow parents to make that choice. AS THEY HAVE ALWAYS TRIED TO DO.

      This is no new argument. It has existed since the creation of the printing press.
