    The thing is that by now, plenty of adults grew up watching porn when they were minors, and know that this hasn’t been harmful to them… so why are we even still getting laws like that, shouldn’t voters and their representatives know better by now…

        I’m stealing that for the next time I have to explain that I’m being held up by a third party not doing what they’re supposed to.

        They are. Their intended result is just not the result they claim to want.

        OK, so we should require everyone to present ID for anything that could be addictive? That’s some awful “save the kids” BS. Screw that!

        If you want to prevent your kids from watching porn, cool, do that. But don’t force everyone else to ID themselves because you’re too lazy to actually parent your kids.

        Being on porn sites all day is healthier than being on social media all day.

        What about it? Hell of a lot lore likely with caffeine and we don’t make you age verify when a kid buys coffee or tea or soda. If addiction occurs, that’s the jurisdiction of medical professionals and the person’s support network.
