I have no control whatsoever over what kind of parental controls companies offer, but even if I did, I wouldn't accept the "punishment" of Congress revoking our freedoms. I don't even accept the premise that Congress is doing it to protect children. If they were, they'd be legislating parental controls. In other words, you took the bait (think of the children!).
- gjsman-1000 3y agoI don’t think that’s a correct interpretation of the article. It’s more that the systemic failure of parental controls create a more fertile environment for Congress to act; compared to a hypothetical situation where the parental controls actually worked and were used.
- DangitBobby 3y agoThe fundamental premise is that Congress is actually trying to protect the children, because that's the only way parental controls would have helped. It doesn't actually matter what the facts on the ground were, Congress would have found some excuse to try to pass this legislation.
- smoldesu 3y agoFor what it's worth, having pay-pornography channels next to Local 4 news has inspired a lot of letters to Congress in the past. I don't think that fostered any more of a "fertile environment for Congress to act" than the Christian Moms Against Seedless Watermelons movement.
