"I don't know how to parent so I'm suing other people"
Only 30 times? As a former teenage boy, bullshit.
I didn't know you could do this. I'm gonna sue all the porn sites for mental health sex life or something like that.
One hates having to sound like a conspiracy theorist, but since the Cheeto government is working hard on prohibiting porn, one wonders about the timing for this. One wonders if this is just another paid asshole who happily uses their family to lie and cheat to get anti porn laws to pass
Sort of a perversion of Public Interest Law.
Conservative political interests have become well-versed in the strategy of promoting and funding cases that can provoke rulings to achieve legislative consequences at the court level. Citizens United, Janus v. AFSCME, and Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization being classic recent examples.
Very possible we'll see a "Porn is de facto illegal" court case inside the next four years.
We'll watch it fail. That's for sure. Just look at the case against Larry Flynt and Hustler magazine from a few decades ago. This isn't the first time they've tried this shit. They lost miserably last time.

That was under a very different composition of judges.
This isn’t the first time they’ve tried this shit. They lost miserably last time.
The Larry Flynt case was notable because it was a significant change in the federal standard. Historically, the puritan anti-sex sentiment has been actively enforced within US law.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_obscenity_law#Legal_issues_and_definitions
The sale and distribution of obscene materials had been prohibited in most American states since the early 19th century, and by federal law since 1873. Adoption of obscenity laws in the United States at the federal level in 1873 was largely due to the efforts of Anthony Comstock, who created and led the New York Society for the Suppression of Vice. Comstock's intense efforts led to the passage of an anti-obscenity statute known as the Comstock Act which made it a crime to distribute "obscene" material through the post.
Anti-obscenity laws endured for nearly a century prior to Miller. And the current government seems to be fixated on a return to that Old Thyme Religion.
They are also still protected by the 1st amendment as far as I am aware.
They're protected by court precedent citing the 1st amendment. Any five judges can change that, assuming they don't simply wave through a decision from the circuit courts that amount to the same.
SCOTUS bait to progress Project 2025
Use Arch. By the time the WiFi drivers are compiled, the boy would have transitioned to femboy.

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.
I would have sued the laptop manufacturer for making a device that doesn't have adequate parental controls.
If that doesn't work I'm suing the person that made the table they put the laptop on for not providing a failsafe to where you can't put a laptop that can access porn sites.
They should just countersue for poor parenting, she should have regulated her son's access to the internet
Nothing is the parent's fault. Blame the teachers. Blame the neighbors. Blame the corporations. Blame everyone but yourselves.
Remember when people took ownership of their responsibilities?
This generation of iPad-parenting is getting out of control. What do parents do nowadays anyway?
Remember when people took ownership of their responsibilities?
When was that, again?
Only when it suits them.
When you try to do good things for kids, like free school lunches and sex education, then it's all about "hurr durr it's the parents' responsibility"
"That is fantastic". How are these fucking idiots still falling for these traitors to the poeple?
Edit. I know it's an old video, but it shows that they never even fucking tried to hide how much they hate the working class, and only view them as slavelabour.

As a parent, this trend in offloading all parental responsibilities onto the people around us is infuriating. Guns, cars, drugs, porn, why is any of this an issue, just fucking parent.

So if it weren't a web site... would she be able to sue 7-11 if the kid found a playboy someone else in her house bought?
Could she sue them if the employee was doing their duty, but a kid broke 7-11's rule, snuck around and stole one?
The site was illegally breached (accessed in violation of their terms) and the kid accessed content not appropriate for them.
How is the site liable? Doesn't dmca precedent here say the kid is at fault for bypassing access controls?
She should have used parental controls or I dunno, maybe password protected that laptop? Oh no, don't blame the parent! It's always someone else's fault!!!
