There are a lot of GOP-controller legislatures in the USA pushing through so-called “child protection” laws, but there’s a toll in the form of impacting people’s rights and data privacy. Most of these bills involve requiring adults to upload a copy of their photo ID.

Anyone that thinks kids won't find a way around any and all blocks is an outright idiot

Even before we had ubiquitous internet everywhere there was forest porn.

At some point between the ages of 11 and 14 every male child would be inexplicably drawn to a local wooded area where they would find hustlers and playboys and penthouse magazines wrapped in trash bags.

Maybe it was different in the city but if you lived in the suburbs that happened.

True. but since it's not about ACTUALLY protecting children it doesn't matter that it doesn't protect children.
