First comment I saw at the site sums it up...

"It's a money grab from someone who wasn't doing their job. She left a computer around with no password. She had not been actively monitoring her child's internet activity. Now she wants tech companies to do the parenting for her."

It’s against the law to give access to porn to minors.

This is part of the propaganda drumbeat. We must protect children. Translation = everybody needs a unique Internet ID to access the Internet anywhere. They say it’s to protect the children. It’s actually to identify whistleblowers, and keep people from having anonymity to discuss things. This new unique ID for the Internet is equivalent to requiring all the authors of the federalist papers to sign with the real name.

Protect the children my ass. Just push for the unique Internet identity number comes from the same people who didn’t give a flying fornication about Epstein island, 300,000 kids being sex trafficked by Biden, all the tranny education in schools, they want the right to trans your kid without you knowing. But suddenly, they’re worried about kids seeing porn. Yeah sure.

What are the damages? Did the kid sprain his right wrist? Did he go blind?

Sounds as if by law the state requires such sites to verify site users’ age before providing access. If so, and if they didn’t, they ought to be penalized. People aren’t perfect, and parents can’t be everywhere at once. Was she careless? Yes. Were the porn sites required to verify her son’s age before providing access? Apparently yes. Her carelessness does not obviate the requirement that the porn sites comply with the law.

I have a different take on this.

I agree that the woman should have done more to prevent her child from accessing porn sites online.

However, her failure to do so does not relieve the porn sites of their legal obligations. Some sites have chosen to respect the rule of law and require proper identification and confirmation of age before delivering pornographic material. Other sites have chosen to ignore those laws.

If I were to let my young child wander off on his own and he went through the neighborhood and ended up going into a bar, I should definitely get in trouble for not taking care of my child. But if he was served a drink at that bar, then the bar should be in trouble as well.

Wonder who she votes for? If she even bothers to vote, that is.

There is a moral crusade by some against porn.

That's why “junk” like this gets any attention.

1. Laptop should have been password protected.

2. There should have been restrictions in place what sites can be visited (various ways possible).

3. If it's an issue, the laptop itself should have been inaccessible.


If you can ban porn for whatever moral reasons, then we SHOULD start banning everything else which offends someone, somewhere, at some time.

-Anything which is too violent.
-Things which mock the prophet Mohamed
-Offends Feminists
-Offends or contradict environmentalists
-Offends LGBTQIA
-Offends race baiters and those looking for racism behind every door and under every rock.
-Anything which contradicts the Covid narrative
-Anything which contradicts the official Ukraine narrative
-In fact, far to many undocumented people have their feelings hurt and we need to clean that up too.

-I think anything which is dis and mis-information (as defined by some faceless bureaucrat which isn't accountable), which hurts anyone's feelings, contradicts the official US governments policies or stance on an issue, or mentions anything classified should be removed.

The Internet in the US should be restricted to MSNBC, CNN, websites on quilting and anything .gov.

Why not, we're not far from that today anyhow.

The Internet is already dead.

I have never heard of any of these sites, thankfully.

The use of her computer by her son was the problem.

The Internet is a wild place that needs parents to monitor.

I get the sentiment of that and I somewhat agree with it. But then I thought what if it was more of a direct relationship. Say, if he called a 1-900 # for sex talk and someone spoke directly to him alone. If that was my son I might feel like someone was directly putting this ideas into specifically his head, not just mass broadcasting it to anyone who views it. Thus I'd be out for vengeance.

But then on the other hand (no pun intended) I don't want to start a slippery (still no pun intended) slope of the govt dictating who can view/listen/read to what information.

I guess if he would have found her old loaded firearm stashed away in her closet and used it to kill someone she would have sued all the firearm and ammo manufacturers for gross negligence.

I remember what it was like being a teenager back in the ‘80s. It seems strange to me that when you are basically a walking hormone you are not allowed to see girly pix. Fortunately my Dad left his old Playboys in the attic for my brothers and I to find. Thanks Dad! Of course today’s kids have the internet. Teenagers are not little children, they are grown ups in training and should be treated as such.

So the kid lied and said he was over 18 to access the sites, when will he be prosecuted for lack of candor?

Contrary to any libertarians here, and contrary to recent Supreme Court rulings, pornography has no Constitutional rights.
