Why do we regulate alcohol and cigarettes? Why dont parent's just parent their kids? How would the kid even bave the money to buy them in the first place? To be clear, when these restrictions were being put in place, people absolutely had the exact same arguments you are making right now. The onus is on the parents.
Even kids with parents that have reasonable restrictions are easily able to access internet pornography because internet devices are everywhere. Internet devices are easier to access than cigarettes and alcohol, and can do just as much damage to their development. Why wouldn't the government also control access to confirm someone's age.
Please do not respond to me about giving out your ID if you do not acknowledge my comment on use zero knowledge proof's to verify you're over an age.
And so now no kid can't access alcohol or cigarettes, right? Right?? Aaaaah, yes they can…
It's going to have exactly the same efficiency: none. Kids educated enough to know they shouldn't seek it won't. The others will definitely find a way to get it. We will never hear about it after. There will be no report, stats, anything. How much stats have you seen on the efficiency of "anti-terrorists" laws?
I don't acknowledge vaporware.
"Child's protection", "anti-terrorist", "against pedophile" so many emotionally triggering words so that we slowly accept more and more control. Had this been proposed 10 years ago, people would have screamed this is "soviet-style". Nowadays, it's just one more small step.
I don't give it another 10 years before you accept webcams in your house with IA monitoring you with complete guaranteed privacy as the IA is only to report cases of harm on children by their caretakers. It will just take a bit more push and a big case of child abuse on the news. We do watch people's behavior outside the house, right? Why not inside? How many more kids are you ready to sacrifice in the name of privacy??
