- mlLK 18y agoDoes it? Think about it this way, why does this make right-wing nuts or technically inept parents go bonkers? A.) They a moral nut and they're reacting to the confluence of information and media as an invasion of privacy. B.) They fear that the exposure to such material at a young age will corrupt their kid, screw some other kid, and get pregnant in high school. Either way, I think this is a cash cow and fertile conditions for any startup whose primary function is a sort of opt-in form of censorship, more or less the startup would act as a proxy for each IP. For the most part, I think their rage is fairly valid since this demographic is probably just old, confused, and sick of scouring the internet for web-sites to block.
