Yet the left will not admit that modern ‘entertainment’ is anything but the exploitation of minors. Just what are they being exposed to, at young ages, where they enter into this 1 minute after becoming of age?

I don’t understand why URL’s for porn don’t require an .xxx extension, making it far easier for parents to block certain content.

We MUST find ways of protecting our children from the perv industry while growing up. The internet has given them far too close a reach to our young, they exploit it in every way possible.

Then some condone dropping drag queens in front of 1st graders. The adults aren’t adults. As a society we’re way off the rails.

It’s easy to protect kids, it’s called EMP. Sadly nothing short of a several of those are going to alter anything. Raise them with Jesus and pray over them constantly.

Because it isn't effective. Every fully qualified domain name resolves to an IP address that your browser uses - you cannot prevent anyone -- certainly not the site owners -- from buying additional domain names and have them resolve to the (same IP addresses used by the) site. IP addresses can change as well. You're setting yourself up for a permanent game of whack-a-mole.

I think the right way to keep kids away from porn is to explain what it is, why it's bad, and actively discourage them from seeking it out. There's so much of it that you really can't (figuratively) keep it in the closet. So, like alcohol and cigarettes, (and now) recreational drugs, we now have to educate children to avoid it.

The .xxx domain was first proposed in 2000 and has been around since 2011 but it's apparently not the solution.

The notion that content providers could use it voluntarily was moot once they realized providers intended to post the same content on both .xxx and .com domains.

In addition to a censorship issue, voluntary use of the .xxx domain could lead to legislation making it mandatory but the definition of "sexually explicit" is inconsistent.

Jurisdiction is also an issue. What is legal in one municipality, county, state, or country could be illegal in others. The implementers of a law forcing "sexually explicit" content onto a .xxx domain will likely find they have no authority to block any content at all.

I support banning smartphones until one is 18. We don’t let kids drink or smoke
