Why should internet porn be the ONLY exception to requiring age verification?
We already require age verification when you buy drugs, buy guns, vote, buy a drink, buy porn mags from a store, buy cigars, access alcohol websites, access gambling websites, etc
But if you're a 10 year old trying to watch adults fuck each other, that's totally fine (as long as its on a screen of course, but not a window screen, and certainly not in person - a distinction that apparently makes all the difference).
Nevermind that children can't consent to the harm, just as they can't consent to drink alcohol or smoke cigars, or look at porn in a magazine.
Do you have a reason why internet porn should be the ONLY exception to requiring age verification for adult things?
- xdennis 4y agoThose are not comparable, primarily because of privacy. People don't care that you know that they voted or had a drink. And in those cases, they don't record who you voted for, what porn mag you bought, etc.
- cobaltinferno 4y agoIts more so about privacy. You shouldn't have to give up your privacy to watch porn, or browse the internet.
