Look, I get it. Everyone should have the right to make a Tinder profile and hook up with other peeps. But this isn't what the focus is. We aren't religious zealots or jihadists here.
Technology has only made information more and easily accessible, at the palms of our hands. It's important to put restrictions in place to effectively CUT the accessibility to porn, only to minors. It is a DRUG, addictive that will hook a user to it. Imagine that on top of the development of a minor, who is going not just through physical changes but ideological changes.
This issue would partially and mostly be solved if free porn was illegal and required a paywall of some sort to verify age.
I like where you're coming from, but I don't think limiting access is the answer. Adolescents aren't being offered playboy mags by some street hustler. They're actively trying to find it. While I agree that some limitations should be in place, teens are going to go out of their way to get porn. Believe me, I know.
What we need is better education from both the religious and the secularists. My views were distorted because both sides put sex on a pedestal in such a way that it corrupted my expectations as it does everyone. We need to dial down the value that's put into it and approach from a scientific and informed stance based on fact.
Agreed
