I get that intuitively porn is bad, but we are creatures with thousands of years of baggage. Practically every institution, everywhere, has spent trillions of dollars across hundreds of years to convince people sex is bad as a control mechanism. We don't even know if sex is addictive, there's a lot of disagreement about that among experts, let alone porn. All we have, really, is some anecdotes from people on Reddit that they stopped touching themselves and now they're not suicidal. Frankly, I don't think that's much of anything.
I'm not sure it's worth it giving up everything for a problem that we're not even sure exists.
How many kids these days play 18+ rated games?
Im not sure I understand. Are you saying wikipedia has porn?
But should I need to upload an ID to view that? I guess some people think North Korea has the right mindset with information control, so showing an ID to see who's seeing what makes sense. But I'm not of that mindset.
I am not even sure whether I should take you seriously.
It’s a wee bit more extensive than that. Videos, more than a few, and most of them not tied to a wiki page.
As someone who tried to run a clean BBS and later a web forum, I’ll never be surprised at the lengths people will go to share porn.
Of course people go to great lengths to share porn. But we should also go to great lengths to protect kids (and adults) from incredibly addictive things like hard drugs, porn, gambling, lootboxes etc.
While I am very much against facial scanning etc, it is quite clear that something needs to be done about the access of porn to kids. It is a drug like any other that we do not allow kids to consume.
