Civilisation would be better off without porn but this was obviously always a non-solution. In fact Google doesn't even censor its images still.

  you mean the thing you can turn off in a click?

    Are you saying that blocks that are trivial to bypass are not very useful? Hmmm... (Also, I'll point out there are parental control settings for Google accounts)

I'm so glad there are people like you with opinions about what's best for me and civilization.

  I'm so glad that the knobs who hate the idea of perpetuating civilization self-select out of the gene pool.

  I don't know about you but "defending pornography to strangers" wasn't on my bucket list. Glad you got it out of your system.

    I call it personal freedom. I'd like very much to remove moral busybodies from my system but it seems very hard for people who have a grand plan for society to top coercing and leave me alone. Its none of your business if people voluntarily produce it and its also none of your business if people voluntarily market it between each other.

      >Its none of your business if people voluntarily produce it and its also none of your business if people voluntarily market it between each other. I mean it is no secret a lot of people who produce these things have mental health issues or come from very poor families. That's not even including the illegal activity that might seem legal on the surface.

        To me that exploitation in the porno industry and the idea that porn should be restricted is two separate issues. I'm not really oppose to limiting access to porn for children, we did that before the internet, we do the same for alcohol, tobacco and a lot of other stuff. I just don't think we should fool ourselves into believing that adding age restriction for the consumption of porn will do the slightest for improving working conditions in the industry. Arguing for the ban of porn is easy, because very few will defend it, and if they do, you just pull out the argument that production is also bad. As if the opponents doesn't want porn to produced safely, without trafficking or exploitation.

        > I mean it is no secret a lot of people who produce these things have mental health issues Really? In my experience, people who think they should be in charge of the interests of "civilization", or who are obsessed with other people's vices, have a lot more mental health issues. Mostly weird savior complexes or fucked up (usually guilt driven) purity obsessions. That's no secret.
