>Parents can easily control which parts of the internet their kids have access to

I'm not sure that this is true. It doesn't sound true.

Most ISPs have a fairly effective child safety mode. Combined with one of those parental protection apps, you can probably prevent your own child from seeing anything you don't want them to.

Please spell this out for me.

I'm a very tech savvy individual, and as a parent who has spent hours and hours navigating the murk of disparate parental control systems, it is clear to me that what you say is only true if you commit to preventing your child from having access to anything at all.

Worst of all, children have friends!

In other words, you must lock them in a closet and deprive them of access to sunlight itself to accomplish what you say.

So instead we lock the adults and block access to adults for things that are intended for adults?

I totally fail to see how you got that from my comment.

Either the children or the adults will need to overcome hurdles to access porn. I believe the parent is suggesting that if we have to pick who faces the hurdles, it should be the children (and their parents) not the adults legally deciding to surf porn.

I don't have a position on that, and there's not one implied by my comment, which is why I am unsure why the commenter assumes one.
