VPNs are having a moment. On January 1st, Florida joined 18 other states in implementing an age verification law that burdens Floridians' access to sites that host adult content, including pornography websites like Pornhub. In protest to these laws, PornHub blocked access to users in Florida....
It’s ironic that the EFF proposes its own set of severe restrictions as the better alternative to age verification laws. How about not restricting the internet at all?
Or better yet, teach parents not to neglect their children 😱
We aren’t their children’s caretakers, they should be responsible adults and not let their kids access gore and porn.
I don’t think it’s actually possible for parents to stop kids from seeing porn if the kids want to do so (without home-schooling them in the wilderness). Even a very attentive and tech-savvy parent can’t stop their kid from looking at porn on a friend’s smartphone. Laws won’t help unless they’re as restrictive as China’s.
