Should adult content require ID checks to "protect children" ? US is starting to say yes

[Dom]

https://news.bloomberglaw.com/in-house-counsel/porn-site-age-checks-required-by-growing-number-of-states

Growing number of states in USA, the land of the free, are beginning to require ID checks from users to access adult-restricred content. It started from Louisiana but has expanded to states such as Virginia, Mississippi, and Utah.

Adult sites are starting to abandon these states since many of them are responsible operators and they do not want to forcefully collect this data and invade on anonymity.

What do you think? Is this good for the US and the children?

"Protect the children" is just an excuse extremists use to justify their unethical schemes.

Lol, we are talking about porn sites that show sex scenes close to the limit of what is illegal. Of course kids must be protected from that. And these websites are the first ones to be upset about it, because their traffic will be lower and relative incomes.

If you know a better way to prove that someone is +18 without using his ID card say it.

I don't care about the porn sites, I'm concerned about the government abusing its power.

porn is less harmful to minors than most other things

You mean American's Young Guns which offers a bright blue or pink rifle to the target age audience of 7 year olds, which can shoot to kill another person, is actually more dangerous?

Don't let them hear you say that!

An American is more likely to complain and sue about a side nipple slip by mistake on a live news report their kid happened to see, over their gun rights. Then when questioned about guns and all the school shootings, actually defend it. It's utterly crazy!

As for kid's seeing porn websites, rather than demanding personal information such as ID, which either don't get stored or can be hacked/leaked... What are they going to do, ask for it each and every time? ... Why not have porn website all be registered and labelled as such which the Microsoft Windows OS and/or web-browser can detect to block based upon the user's account profile? Sure a kid might be able to bypass it, but still. If they are willing, there will always be a way.

Wow it's almost as if parents should teach their children... I shot rifles and pistols when I was young. Not a single issue. Why? Because I was taught! Too many lessons of untaught and uneducated children sadly causing injuries and fatalities because the parents never gave them the information. Just like how children should be taught how to navigate the internet and have tech literacy in this modern age. That is becoming more and more apparent with how increasingly wired life is these days.

Porn is more harmful. A gun is just a tool.

Remember at one time kids had greater access to guns and we had no mass school shootings.

I think if we want ot label something like healthcare as a human right and demand the government pay for it, then we can certainly claim guns are a 2nd Amendment right and the government should buy every kid their first gun.

Ahh, I see the logic now.

Here in New Zealand we are legally allowed to drink at a young age within the safety of home under parent's supervision. So yeah, rather than shooting early on, it was early drinking. Worked out fine for me!

Still, what can kill someone the fastest via a mistake or no supervision? A kid's online activities could be supervised just the same? Yet it won't kill them...

Perhaps they should ask for ID upon searching up how to make explosives? Lulz, haha Mr Terrorist we got you now! Dang just another kid stealing their father's ID...

kids used to bring guns to school. there were no shootings.

once porn became legalized on the internet, shootings started.

...i think i see a correlation there.

"its a known fact that naughty pictures are causing a brain decrease in younger population. and so, we have to ban the non adult humans from the internet, not the naughty pictures.

:)"

-basically how the government is going to handle this.

Mate, it's the gov who is giving you the ID card, so what are you talking about? Your ID card contains public informatios such as your name. Nobody is asking for your bank details.

And no one on the Internet needs that information.

A day when I have to pull out my ID every time I want to do see something rated 17+ from the comfort of my own home is a day I must have voted away my own freedom.

In facts nobody needs them. It's just a company that makes milion of € to store them and not sharing to the public to make sure you are not underage. When you go to buy alchool and they ask for your ID, they don't share those infos.

a lot of companies share that information when u buy alcohol online

Women are trafficked in the industry all the time, and if that's not reason enough to ban porn, I don't see what is.

[Tristin]

"Protect children"? Since when did US protect children? Have you seen what they feed children in schools?

This would be good because it’s very easy to access this content. But at the same time I know for a fact we will find a way to bypass these restrictions or find loopholes on the system.
