A Senate bill that would require Canadians to verify their age online before accessing porn is moving through the House of Commons without the support of the Liberal government.

    “There’s no place for the state in the bedrooms of the nation.”

    Someone or another once said that way back when, as I recall.

      At the same time it’s 18+ content and there’s currently no verification being made. When I worked in a corner store my boss would have been charged if I got caught selling cigarettes or booze to a minor, same thing could happen with porn movies when I worked in a movie rental place.

      Now it’s 68% of people 13 to <18 that say they’ve watched porn on the web with the majority seeing it for the first time at 13… Now think about the kind of videos you see when you’re watching it and ask yourself, is that really what you want people that are in the middle of their development to use to learn about sex? Women choking on a dick, taking it up the ass, banging their step bro or step dad, people fucking others without their consent while they’re stuck somewhere…

      Try to remember your level of maturity at that age…
