> IMHO kids watching porn is firmly in the domain of parenting, and not a governmental task.
Do you actually believe this? The logical implication of this stance is that stores should be able to legally sell pornography to children.
Fact is that most people are generally very happy to have the government play the part of protector for children. The government in the US stops children from buying tobacco products, marijuana, alcohol, pornography, and many other things deemed dangerous to kids and for the most part people have no problem with that.
When it gets to the internet people suddenly have a problem because age verification is generally synonymous with tracking. And I agree tracking is a huge concern. But let’s not pretend that the government stepping in to protect children is actually an unreasonable thing.
