>Because it's literally illegal for children to view porn Is this actually even true? So if my underage son finds a porn magazine in my house, it's "illegal" for him to look at it? That doesn't sound right. >Imagine if a liquor store just decided it was fine to let kids come in and purchase liquor and you said "Why is it the liquor store's responsibility to not sell booze to kids?" Imagine comparing going to a physical location with no easy digital trace and buying something that is basically 100% socially acceptable to digitally tracking what kind of taboo and private porn someone wants to watch.

On the other hand, showing kids pornography is against all kinds of laws everywhere.

Yes it's true. Children can't go in a physical store and purchase porn anywhere. "Imagine comparing going to a physical location with no easy digital trace and buying something that is basically 100% socially acceptable to digitally tracking what kind of taboo and private porn someone wants to watch. " You're making excuses for allowing this. Just stop. The mental and physical health of children takes precedence over adults need to keep their fetishes "private". As if this stuff isn't being tracked in all sorts of ways already anyway. Until very very recently everyone had to go into a store to purchase this stuff.

  >Yes it's true. Children can't go in a physical store and purchase porn anywhere. That's not what I asked... you said it was "literally illegal for children to view porn". Give me a source for it because I can't find one. There is a difference between SELLING porn to underage children, and children being able to view it. I'm talking about viewing it. Going to google and searching for porn and getting results is NOT the same as a store literally selling porn to kids- and since you are on a tech website, you obviously know that. >You're making excuses for allowing this. Just stop >The mental and physical health of children takes precedence over adults need to keep their fetishes "private" Ah the response of "THINK OF THE CHILDREN!" to justify taking away our right to privacy. Where have I heard that one before? >Until very very recently everyone had to go into a store to purchase this stuff. Yeah, going to some random store in the 80s and buying what you wanted with cash where no one had any idea who you were, no way to track you is definitely the same as my license being linked to every link I click on at pornhub. Yup, same thing... why are you giving such a disingenuous argument?

    "Ah the response of "THINK OF THE CHILDREN!" to justify taking away our right to privacy. Where have I heard that one before?" Who's taking away what rights? Pornhub took this away, not the government. Show me where the government is removing rights please. I'm not aware of an amendment that says you must be allowed to view porn without anyone knowing about it. Again, your right to view porn doesn't supersede the right of children to be protected from it. You sound like the people vying for child drag shows because it's their right to dangle their junk in kids faces.

  I don't know what you mean by "very very recently", because even online porn has been around for literally decades (it was on Usenet for a while before the web was a thing). I remember folders full of it on the BBSes I frequented as a teen in mid-90s.

    Yep that's incredibly recent as far as government and laws are concerned. You went from a society that had restrictions in place to just allowing open season on anyone at any age to access whatever the hell they want. The only place that exists to that extent is online.
