    I guarantee that’s not happening lol

    They’ve been repeatedly bringing up laws like this, then they get scrapped because they’re utterly unenforceable. It’s been happening ever since Theresa May was still David Cameron’s cabinet Home Secretary.

    Just headlines meant to appeal to old conservatives obsessed with everybody’s sex lives, with the bonus of the government paying millions to their mates’ “consultancy firms”.

    Research indicates younger ids who stumble across porn accidentally can find it shocking and disturbing although the majority of young people surveyed in a 2020 British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) report said this didn’t impact them in the long term.

    Nobody is visiting porn sites accidentally anymore. This ain’t the 90s. They don’t pop up in any mainstream search engines by default.

    Unless this includes not only porn sites but any site that might potentially host porn (like Reddit, Twitter, Facebook, or really any site with user-uploaded content), this argument is invalid (as well as specious).

      Wow, what a boldly inaccurate take. How can you possibly believe this? Do you never interact with children? Just a few weeks ago a teacher gave out a URL that had a typo in it to my nephew’s middle school class and sure enough it was a porn site. In 2024 no less. IT didn’t even block the site. Porn is far too easy to find online inadvertently, case in point turn off safe search on any popular search engine. LOL “nobody is visiting porn sites inadvertently these days”, thanks- needed that today lol

      Considering TERF island are all time champions it’s a given that as always they’ll go home with a gold medal in this one, however my sources predict a loss in the “have a sufficiently functional state apparatus to actually enforce such a law” competition.
