I think, the best way to keep children from dangerous content is large fines for parents, for example, $4000 for every adult video their child was traumatized by due to their negligence. 50% of the fine is shared with the person who reported the violation (including site operators). After all being a parent is a responsibility.

Such law would not cause inconvenience to normal Internet users without children, would provide additional source of income for vigilant people and underpaid school staff, and would result in much higher degree of compliance. Why you guys don't elect people like me.

Don't you think our society has already pushed too far in the direction of mandated helicopter parenting? You can hardly let your kids play independently nowadays in the US without getting a CPS check-up due to someone believing kids should be on leashes; what your proposing is significantly more draconian

Maybe, but why normal people without children need to experience inconvenience, Internet restrictions and verifications just because there are a minority of negligent parents? Children are parents responsibility. Instead of banning adult sites, is not it better to ban families with children from Internet? Make some family-friendly Internet and let them all go there and not bother normal people.

You are punching down instead of up. The problem is not children, or parents, but the state trying to enforce restrictions.

The problem is all the complacent people not fighting this obvious dystopian spiral.

I originally read your previous post as sarcasm (hard to tell on the web) but now I see you're describing an absolute hellhole without a hint of irony

> let them all go there and not bother normal people.

The normal state does include people with children.

Probably not in places like Germany where over half the population is over 45. As US becomes more like child-devoid europe, it will become even more hostile to children. And parents will be more and more slaves to the state, to raise children however society says they ought to be raised. The purpose of the parent is to pay and be punished, the purpose of the outsider is to rest on the smug shoulders of the state and proclaim how morally superior they are at no cost to themselves.

As it becomes increasingly apparent having children is a suckers game where everyone piles on the penalties to you while eagerly awaiting the social security payments of your children (you make ~all the investment, then they take the profits), they will have even fewer.

If you feel that parents are treated unfairly, the solution is to impose a tax on people without children and use it to pay the salary for raising kids. I think everybody agrees that monetary support is much better than verbal and moral support.

Yes, one of the biggest mistakes I see some people without children make is believing that they have no vested interest in people raising children.

Becuae if it wasn't the kids it'd be drug dealers. If it wasn't drug dealers it'd be terrorist. If it wasn't terrorists it be Nazis.

This isn't about kids. It's about control and the people too stupid to give it to policians.

For some reason everyone has something that turns their brain off and makes them happily turn over freedom to people who hate them.
