Laptops are like guns. If you leave them unsecured, you are responsible if your kid gets a hold of them. Who even has a laptop without a password these days.
Guns are way more dangerous though. A 14 year old watching some porn is hardly life ruining. How many 14 year olds haven't watched porn? If they've got access to the Internet they're going to find it.
Its much better to actually properly teach your kids about sex and porn so that it doesn't fuck them up, than to try and protect them by restricting access to it.
It was like 75% joke. The other 25% was saying the parent is responsible, not the websites.
I'm not sure how the websites could even be responsible. What can they do other than go "are you old enough to access this website".
The only other option would be for the government to implement some kind of ID system (not that I'm advocating for that you understand), but that would be the government's responsibility not the individual websites.
There is a lot of harm that can come from children using the internet
Look at Roblox or other pedophile chatrooms as an example
Yeah but he was looking at porn which is positively wholesome compared to Roblox.
Given everything I’ve learned about Roblox over the years, if I had a kid I’d much rather find them watching Chaturbate than playing Roblox. To my knowledge, nobody has ever tried to kidnap, rape, or kill a child, or anyone for that matter, for watching Chaturbate.
Yeah wholesome safe porn for the viewer
My laptop is set up to unlock automatically if it's on my Wi-Fi network. But if I take it out of the house and try and access it then I do have to use either a password or my fingerprint.
