      What kind of a parent are you if you’re not blocking access to these kinds of sites on the devices of your kids?

      I’m just not an authoritarian. I don’t like the government spying on us as it is. Why would I volunteer to give up even more privacy? Consider installing cameras in your home and give the government access to them if you want. Totes just to make sure the kids aren’t doing anything wrong. I’ll skip.

      Party of small government!

      So parents would rather let kids watch porn than comply with age verification laws

      FTFY. Pornhub doesn’t have kids, parents and guardians do. Unlike schools, Pornhub has zero in loco parentis rights or responsibilities. Instead, parents and guardians do.

      But in Utah and NC, recognizing the futility of being able to comply with the laws as written, Pornhub is OVERCOMPLYING.

      In those states, Pornhub is ensuring that NO ONE of ANY age watches their content. (And you’re fooling yourself if you think this has fuck all to do with protecting minors anyway.)
