    “develop a technological standard that might turn a user’s electronic device into the proof of age necessary to access restricted online content.”

    Can we not? Can parents just take care of their kids like they have for thousands of years instead of futility trying to babyproof the internet for a minority of people? Jesus.

      So there are laws that people agree with that say people under 18 cannot buy/see porn at the store. What makes this any different

        Probably the bigger issue is the centralization of the internet

        If we would have some more decentralized way of consuming content, then it would be harder to censor or control it

        The internet nowadays is essentially just google, facebook, and pornhub

        So applying a rule you can just target one company which will comply anyway because this is communism

          I believe the responsibility should be on the parents to keep their children from viewing porn before they’re 18. Not the government. I also believe there should be at least some control over what minors have access to. Will it ever be 100%? Nope. All we can do is the best we can do
