> Many parents are going to a bad job at monitoring their kid's internet and if we can create rules that will leave their children less messed up, we should do so. Then we should make a law that holds parents responsible for poor decision making. It's not incumbent on anyone else to make the world a "less messed up" place for them, I had zero say in whether you got to have children or not.. you just decided to do it one day. Further, most of us don't believe that this law as written or any law in general stands a chance at actually addressing your claim. This law does a really good job of protecting entrenched entrants and denying new startups access to the internet by creating unnecessary technical barriers that cost a lot to erect but don't actually protect children. It's the worst of all outcomes, if you actually care about "messed up" children. > it is so, so much easier to access poisonous things on the internet than on other mediums Is "two children talking to each other" a medium or not? If so, I don't think the internet holds a candle to this. > it sucks being stricter than all the other parents, sucks having to battle with kids about why their peers can do something they can't. So.. because some parents find it hard to be strict, we have to force all parents to be strict. And if they aren't? Should we take their children away? I mean, if they're too tempted to be "cool" then we shouldn't even allow that to occur under any circumstance, should we?
