This is the core fallacy I see in proponents of such rules: they think the rules can be enforced.
- convolvatron 2y agoI think the parent had an even more important fallacy - that the rules can't even be _stated_. there is an implicit presumption that everyone everywhere agrees on what material is appropriate for what people and at what age.
- evil-olive 2y agoyes, and that presumption is even older than the internet. this is from a 1964 Supreme Court decision [0]: > I shall not today attempt further to define the kinds of material I understand to be embraced within that shorthand description ["hard-core pornography"], and perhaps I could never succeed in intelligibly doing so. But I know it when I see it, and the motion picture involved in this case is not that. 0: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_know_it_when_I_see_it https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_know_it_when_I_see_it
