You want to discourage behavior? The last thing you should do is try to ban or block it. Common sense.
States are working hard to discourage abortion by banning it or blocking it.
And guess what? It's working!
So why not ban or block porn? These evils cannot go unchecked.
Ah, that’s why prohibition and pot laws work so well!
If you really want to discourage bad behavior you don’t waste time trying to ban it, which will only increase demand. Instead you tax it or make it expensive. Banning cigarette ads and putting labels on the packages had some effect but what really did it was raising the price. When a DUI cost you a few hundred bucks people kept right on drinking and driving, but when it ended up costing thousand of dollars, losing your license, and jacking your insurance rates through the roof, people changed their behavior. Many other examples exist...
Oh they aren’t even doing that. All they are asking for is that viewers of internet porn verify that they are not children, which is the law from sea to shining sea. It’s pornhub that decided to cut off the virtual nookie until they get their way!
Indeed, but there are certain libertarian (versus social) conservatives who want the ability to indulge in porn, fornication, etc. and have little use for Bible religion (and the RF here) and no real objection even to homosexuals engaging in their relations "as long as it does not affect me." Which of-course it substantially does.
Then there those who have a legit concern over fostering a "slippery slope," which is exactly what occurred and is via civil rights legislation, when the basis for belonging to a protected class went beyond non-moral aspects skin color, and was expanded to how one feels, allegedly from birth.
Yet my opposition to immorality is due my having been "born again that way.
