It seems like a great way to deprive young people of education and exposure to foreign culture. Not to mention asking everyone to validate there age seems like a great way to ruin the entire internet.
You taking it a little far I think there. Education into foreign culture can be provided by books.
Anyway, there are things that children should not be allowed to have access to. And that access has always been partially governed by parents and partially governed by Society.
Now when I was a kid my dad could take me to an R-rated movie and that’s fine. But no parent, no admission.
When you’re there in person someone can look at you and make a judgment of your age or they can ID you.
That’s not possible using the internet without people saying it’s too invasive.
So we need some kind of solution which provides enough anonymity while also being able to absolutely confirm you are above certain age.
I think the reality is that kids will get exposed to adult content at some point on the internet. As a parent it is very important to have sex related conversations early so that your kid doesn’t get taken advantage of. At the end of the day kids grow up to be adults and sometimes that happens much faster than we would like it to. Even if you shelter your kid they will still get exposed from other kids. You can’t control teens and young adults.
Of course they will get exposed to things over time and kids will always work to circumvent their parents restrictions. But we got to make them work for it. It shouldn’t be easy. Lol
There already is a solution. Parents need to be involved in restricting what their kids are viewing. Thats the solution, but parents dont want to do that, they want the sites to do the job for them.
Nope. Its already been tried. The internet is too ubiquitous.
And that’s like saying, all liquor stores should not require ID, and it’s the parents fault if an underage kid acquires some booze.
Silly.
Im following along perfectly fine. You’re the one not comprehending the fallacies in your argument, but nice try. Im done responding to you after this though anyway cause its obvious you aren’t interested in actually listening and learning.
Why stop at porn? Any objectionable words (like darn or poop), or any form of non-consensual contact (including Three Stooges pies in the face) must require photo ID to access. The internet is for everyone, after all.
I mean, nice quote… I like it. But Steve’s a comedian.
OR, If the pilot was a kid you’d say the authority that gave that kid a pilot’s license without checking his age is the one who fucked up.
Government should provide a way to anonymously verify that you have reached a certain age (not your exact age). If your id is a smart card, the proof could even be generated offline.
They ID at the liquor store too.
Go ahead and give a better solution. I’m up for it.
Except you’re not at the risk of the liquor store owners storing a copy of your ID when they quickly review it
Nor at risk of a server misconfiguration leaking all the copies to random assholes
Wait until the guy at the liquor store has facebook glasses or whatever they’re called
That’s why we need a novel solution.
What the heck is a “novel solution”

Don’t be dumb, this isnt even close to the same thing.
The “thing” is how to age gate materials on the internet. I said I’m up for a solution. What’s yours?

Again, liquor store and this aren’t even remotely the same. So your example is irrelevant. Silly.
This is about age restriction which is entirely the same. You can stop commenting now because I don’t think you’re following along.

“I’m done responding…”
Thanks.

No that’s not how the world works. All things are not for everybody. Ask any parent. Your kids do not get to run free and do whatever they want.
Exactly. So why should we require ID for porn and not for a bad word?
If you don’t know the answer to that then you’re not a parent are you?
To quote Steve Hofstadder, I’m not a helicopter pilot either but if I see one in a tree I know someone fucked up.
I mean, nice quote… I like it. But Steve’s a comedian.

A solution presumes there is a problem in the first place.
You don’t say?

Yeah I agree to more anonymous it could be, the better.
Not sure how possible that is though.
-EDIT.
… at least without losing anonymity.
