I mean if it at all stops some kid from getting human trafficked or from getting a porn addiction at 12 then I can’t say that it’s one of the worst laws ever.

States should be free to make these kinds of laws IMO, but not the federal government. There are plenty of states for all types of cultures to thrive without fighting. We should leave more things for the States/People to handle, 10th Amendment!

I feel like you should already be aware that this bill will do zilch to protect anyone from anything. The filters won't be effective and it will probably be trivial to remove them via factory reset or some other manner.

Chinese people have no problems getting around filters.

Nothing about this would prevent human trafficking of children. Being able to access adult content does not lead to trafficking.

Why not? You don’t think there’s a % of idiots who bait people and a % of more idiots who fall for it and end up meeting in real life after being manipulated on some porn chat?
