    It’s also about several us states. Plus why make it harder to access porn? It doesn’t harm anybody. It may make children ask some questions you don’t want to answer but overall… So??

    I’m for regulating porn, actors and actresses should be paid, should be protected from sti, should not be forced or coerced. But access? Who cares?

      The article is not about US states.

      There is reasonable evidence to suggest that children viewing porn is harmful, and even though it’s clearly not a good reason - even if you believe said evidence - for something like the online safety act, people here act like you, as if there isn’t even any evidence, and as if noone actually believes it’s harmful.

      If you don’t think children accessing porn is problematic I think you need to give it some more thought. It most definitely normalises some extremely mysogonistic, violent/ non consensual practices.

      I don’t think age verification is the answer, but let’s not pretend it’s not trying to address an actual issue.
