The Louisiana online porn legislation thing just shows what'll happen if state-mandated internet content blocks become commonplace.>Government mandates websites institute a real ID check to access content>Websites don't do it, just block IP addresses from that government's jurisdiction>Users either succumb to the real ID shit, or just use a VPN>Internet gets more fragmented, VPN companies win, governments win, real ID use for internet access becomes normalizedTo see anti-establishment boomers, e-christians, and various anti-porn activists cheer on this development as a big victory of some sort is hilarious. They're cheering on our collective demise simply because they're falling for the diversionary optics of it. They're the type of person that cheered on the PATRIOT act when it first came out simply because it had a good name.

@Duine as harmful as the porn industry is i think banning porn is a really bad idea and slippery slope. we really can't stop people from videotaping sex acts. it's just not practical

@meowski Banning porn to "protect the children" is also idiotic. Parents should be controlling access to that by being invested in their kids' upbringing rather than expect the state to do it for them.

@Duine it seems like a simple age confirming gateway like a content warning or clicking a button that says "i am over 18" to access porn is a reasonable compromise so kids aren't accidentally exposed to obscene content. even that is a slippery slope though. ultimately parents should control what their kids have access to

@Duine Another reason I feel no shame spamming these puritan faggots with anime lewds if they annoy me.

@meowski That's been the solution since the late 90s/early 2000s. Even online stores like Steam do it for mature content.

@Duine that's a minimum amount of common decency that many people don't have especially here on fedii have thought of setting up a family friendly fedi instance but considering many instances don't follow this, it would have to whitelist federation

@Duine If they want to do something useful, I think there'd be a market niche for some kind of good Christian kid-friendly platform with strict moderation, no data harvesting, posts delete after a set amount of time, etc. Just create spaces online where kids' brains won't get marinated in hardcore porn. Unfortunately the big platforms are built around data harvesting, so they nominally only cater to teens and adults. This kind of legislation doesn't clean up social media, it only hurts privacy and personal freedom.

@Duine any tool you advocate giving the government should be looked at more closely to see if it can ever be used against dissidents. Digital identification is a big nope for me

@meowski I counter this idea with the assertion that the vast majority of people, especially under-20s, should not be using any social media at all. For the most part it's a corrosive influence on public discourse. See: all the scummy execs and influencers that acknowledge the deleterious effects on the mental well-being of teenage girls using instagram or facebook, or how zoomers are apparently getting tics from Tiktok.

@meowski @Duine wouldn't that be a bit over protective? parents should educate their kids on how to protect themselves and discern between right and wrong behaviors, or just tell them that you will always be around to help, but not simply block everything. kids are just going to be sneaky and resent their parents later in life.

@gingermilk @Duine i don't think it's overprotective. it just recoginizes the reality that the vast majority of parents dont' have the time and energy to do this effectivelyyes in a perfect world, parents would be there to monitor kids usage of the internet, and there would be tools to help them do this, but this is not the case

@Duine EU led the way with that insane cookies pop-up that every website has now.That means that every government is going to do it.I say try free speech, and kids do not belong on the internet.

@meowski @Duine I'm okay with an adequate amount of monitoring for pre-teens and little kids. but when they are more mature and develop the patience and respect required to actually listen to their parents, I still think it would be the best to have a face-to-face talk and then lift all restrictions to show that you trust your own kids.

@Duine conservatives are only anti-establishment until they become the new establishment, just like the liberals were.
