This underestimates the preposterous volume of porn - and the agility of site owners. 1% is still "enough porn" by any definition.
That's what makes this such a failure: not only does it stop legit material like sex-education and rape counselling sites, it also doesn't prevent access to porn. The only box that is successfully ticked is "something must be done".
- vidarh 13y agoNothing stops access to porn. I grew up in Norway, which until recently did not allow sales of anything but soft core porn. Yet illegally imported German hardcore porn magazines that someone had thrown in the garbage circulated through my primary school class (mostly to the sound of "ewwww", before being thrown away again), and a few years later BBS's ensured that once we were old enough to not find it as disgusting, any of us who cared had trivially easy access (if willing to wait for the grainy GIFs to download with 2400 bps modems). It does however give those in a moral panic a way of lulling themselves into the belief that something is being done.
