How would you as a parent prevent your kids from accessing porn?

Filtered dns provided via opendns.com is a damn good/easy option. Not 100% but will take care of most junk that may accidentally pop up. If they are smart enough to get around that, I feel they are old enough to understand the concept and consequences of sexual intercourse.

Anyone smart enough to get around that would also be smart enough to get around whatever the government does to block it.

I like this take for two reasons. You’re one hundred percent right. But also. It’s part of the whole deal, keep feeding the “justice system” people that aren’t smart enough or just didn’t think of the potential fall out. These laws aren’t meant to stop everyone, they’re meant to choose who it is they want to stop.

Agreed, unless it was everything everywhere, that would be scary, like China scary

Most routers have parental controls. Web sites have categories, and you can explicitly block those categories. You can use 3rd party dns tools like nextdns for granular control. Lots of parental software you can install that can limit PC time use, sites, tracking, etc. you can blacklist sites too. Lots of control and access levels so you don’t block yourself too.

sure, but it’s not going to curb the curiosity 100%. and it’s not just sex sites, kids don’t need to see sites like crazyshit.com, etc until they’re at least mature enough.

@mmagod

Do you have kids?

What did you tell them about hardcore anal? All the kids want anal now.

They don’t know about all the prep, the behind the scenes, the emergency room runs where someone gets a perferated colon and risks bleeding out internally.

Did you mention that to your daughter?

I’m not advocating for government control, but simple snappy one liners are just that. Unless they’re funny. We all like those 😉

And then you put your phone on cellular and all the Wi-Fi controls are gone.

Google family app does some good.

if you’ve got a kid old enough to be using a phone, but not old enough to know about sex, and you haven’t enabled parental controls, you have other things to worry about. or they’re old enough to look at whatever they please.
