    I’m not saying it never happens, but it’s not a super common occurrence.

    And even if it is, locking down the entire internet and monitoring people in an Orwellian fashion isn’t the government’s job.

    What happened back in the day when kids walked in on their parents doing the deed? What did the parents do when their child snuck a passage of Shakespeare and read all the filthy jokes he wrote?

    Oh, they spoke to the kids and guided them through a normal part of life?

    I have a son. I would like for him to not see graphic images on the Internet. But when he does, I will explain to him that human beings have sex (which is why he exists). I will tell him that sometimes people like to watch videos about it because it feels good to them. I will explain to him that it’s fake, just like the action movies and violence he sees on TV. I will tell him it’s nothing like that in reality and I will explain to him that he’s not ready to see that material yet.

    Fascists always gain control by offering “safety.” Ironically, they’re more dangerous than the thing they claim to protect you from.

    Yeah, making a government list of porn watchers with their watch history available is 100% going to be abused. It will not turn out well.
