PornHub Withdraws From UK Over Online Safety Act

nateb:

Maybe I’m the asshole then but it sure seems like everyone here does a lot.

I don’t think so, I could buy that others are doing it, but I was asking because I felt like you were saying I was and I would disagree with that.

nateb:

“Parents are so negligent because they don’t monitor everything their kids do online, set up DNS-blockers, switch all their devices to Graphene, etc.”

I mean yeah that’s extreme. But are you negligent as a parent if you give you child an unfettered gateway to the internet with zero restrictions at all? Sorry, yeah. Do I particularly care or think you’re a bad person because of of it? No. Just don’t try and give everyone else the responsibility of changing because of your negligence.

I think the bare minimum to clear the negligence bar while still giving your kids internet access is to give them an iPad or iPhone with Apple’s parental controls on, and I don’t think that’s asking a lot.

If you are unwilling to do that and you’re unwilling to let your kid live without a device and you try to pass laws to introduce controls on the internet you weren’t willing to set up yourself without affecting everyone else, then sorry but yeah, you suck.
