    What if I want myself or my children to have access to this content? Where is my control?

      This is when the argument can be reduced to absurdity, e.g. banning the Bible for the sexual imagery in it

        banning the Bible for the sexual imagery in it

        What I would give to see this happen.

        To be clear, by no means do I want the bible banned. But I’d love to see it happen just once if they’re gonna start banning books and blocking websites.

        I think it would be harmful to my children to know that people like this exist and are hurting everyone, including children, supposedly on the behalf of those children. I would like to require age verification to interact with these politicians. They can only use services that support age verification and cannot interact with anyone who hasn’t verified.
