Polling for the question “websites that may contain pornographic material”

Which is my point. The OSA isn’t popular as a broad piece of legislation, but the “think of the children” aspect that something needs to be done to restrict access to pornography is popular.

Watch the YouTube link I sent to better understand my point.

Personally, I think even the pornography aspect is stupid. If the government couldn’t stop me accessing porn when I was a kid back before the web was invented, then they’re shit out of luck stopping kids these days. The problem isn’t the law, the problem is parents want a way to diminish their own responsibility. It’s the same tired bullshit we see time and time again of blaming everyone else rather than making ourselves accountable.
