Pornhub apologized to “loyal visitors” blocked in two states this weekend.
It’s insane that the USA is becoming a theocracy just because 25% of the country wants that and 75% are too distracted by the NFL and Netflix and are letting it happen
I don’t agree with the way it’s has been done, but there is a necessity for a tighter regulation over minor’s visitation to pornographic content on the internet. Not entirely (that’s not feasible or desirable even), but the impact this and others has had in the youth’s mental health globally has been largely ignored by non-religious or overly-controlling people and is something that should be serious discussed outside of the sexual liberty context that it is often placed within.
Regulation threatens innocent people with the guns of law.
Parents not monitoring their children’s internet access is not an excuse to harass people.That’s quite the claim to make without sources.
Let’s see some peer-reviewed studies backing this up.
As is often the case with technology the answer isn’t to ban it or lock it down when it comes to things minors shouldn’t be accessing. It’s up to parents. Evidence is now coming to light that human eyeballs are changing shape as kids stay inside during crucial eye development time and spend more hours in front of a screen than outdoors. It’s up to parents to be the enforcers of what content their children access and ensuring that they don’t become reliant on technology.
True.
The problem is that the parents of tomorrow are a product of the culture of today. The culture of today encourages sexual liberty and ‘behaviour defiances’ such as unusual hair colors and clothes, besides being very open about a individual’s right for freedom of self expression without fear of retaliations. That by itself is certainly not a bad thing, but the matter is that it requires said individual to have a reasonable understanding of reflection over their behaviours in order to be able to understand if a certain behaviour is actually good for them or if the desire to act that way comes from repeated exposure to it, often in different forms.
Children today are living in that limbo between households that are not strict enough in order to not create unnecessary trauma and environments that assume everyone has the qualities mentioned above, and this has caused an impact on their emotional health.
(Keep in mind that this last part might be lacking perspective, given that this is only my observation on those around me. Feel free to share if your view is different)

Oh my good next thing you know the youth will be clutches pearls DANCING!
The US is becoming a theocracy
It should be clear voting is an important thing to do because of this. Virginia is not a red state, yet here we are. One single election has cost us legal marijuana (it was passed under Democrat control, but the Republicans have all but destroyed it) and this, as well as several other issues.
To be clear, I’m aware this passed with bipartisan votes, but it’s because it was going to pass regardless and running with your opponent’s attack ads saying you voted against “protecting children” will be very harmful. VA is in a spiral with “children” as the supposed focus for basically theocratic control. Voters are uninformed enough that they will believe the ads and whatever they hear on the “news” without checking what the law actually was. It’s becoming a real issue.
