No. No, it won't, because for every porn site that complies, sixty thousand won't.

To be clear, I'm not some big porn proponent, especially for young people with developing brains. But, as always, proper parenting and framing is more useful than NetNanny - Now With State-Enforcement!

Hi, how do you suggest proper parenting and framing without also society-level interventions? It seems this is putting a lot of burden on parents, teachers, etc, when also regulation on this can be helpful. For example, smoking is prohibited for those below a certain age from purchasing. Or the intervention the government did with Juul to stop the spread of vaping among teens.

You say not every porn sure will comply, but if even the biggest players comply, don’t you agree this will significantly reduce minors being exposed to porn? And I’m sure with threat of legal action, just like is taken against other entities, can also be of help, even if it becomes a cat-and-mouse game,

I’m saying don’t let perfect be the enemy of good. Education from parents to kids is a great effort but that will require a lot more work and dedication.

Wew, I don't know what to tell you. Your kid is going to google "boobies" and find them. Now, in six months, in six years, regardless of regulations because they're never going to be enforced anywhere near wide enough to keep a curious kid away. Not even for 3 whole minutes. So, what do you do? .... be a freaking parent.

Regulation of physical goods is leaky too. If you rely on the law keeping booze and cigarettes away from your kids, you're going to have a really, really rough time through their teen years.

>It seems this is putting a lot of burden on parents, teachers, etc, when also regulation on this can be helpful.

No, regulation can make lazy/bad parents feel better and feel like they can just ignore their actual responsibility which is teaching and guiding their rchildren.

> don’t you agree this will significantly reduce minors being exposed to porn?

No, lol, I'm sorry, it would be rude but I would laugh in your face openly if you tried to tell me that. Pick a state that has implemented this, and I'll record you a YouTube video of me finding porn in less than 30 seconds.

And honestly, mentioning Juul? Man, do you live in this same world as the rest of us? There are 6 dozen different disposable vapes that are easily accessible to kids. The Juul ban did absolutely beyond nothing to stop teenage vaping.

Yes, parents should do the most important part of their job as a parent instead of advocating for the STATE to track every single adult that wants to watch porn. Yes, I am absolutely saying that:

1. This will stop exactly zero kids from accessing porn.

2. The trade-off requires a STATE-RUN REGISTRY OF PORN WATCHERS. I don't even know where to begin on explaining what a horrendous idea this is.

This is clearly 100% just the usual "moral conservatism as law" trope that it always is. People who want to encode their moral beliefs as law because they're too prudish? ignorant? I-dont-know-what? to talk to their kids about sex.
