Yes

No

Yes a kid can not legally buy cigarettes an someone underage can not Buy Alcohol or serve in the Army. Unless someone wants kids to be able to be shown pornography then there’s no reason for one to be against verification. Most of the porn sites don’t want this to happen because it would lower their viewership an early start of addiction. Also it could also bring about age verification of those performing in said video which would be a detriment to many of these sites because they are already being sued for CP. one of the reasons Pornhub has been token off insta many times.

Thank you. You're the only reasonable commenter here. I just talked to some kid who was 13 and struggling with quitting porn.

[Adaeva]

No, because the last thing we need is more government interfering in our lives.

[DarkLegacy]

No i see nothing wrong with under 18s viewing it and although im not interest in porn myself i don't think we should have anymore restrictions like this. it is just to appease man hating feminists anyway.

[BCRanger10]

Yes, but then again, I also think that sites dedicated to such filth should be shut down altogether anyway.

[Quigly]

Yes, Porn shouldn't even be on the internet.

The internet powers have shown how easily it is to monopolize searches controlling everything you see. They should take responsibility for children seeing the wrong things.

Cause your kid seeing it was obviously intentional.

[AngryCarl2]

I voted no because I don't want the government selling the information that I accidentally visited a porn site.

[exitseven]

No, most 5th graders could probably figure out a way around it anyway.

[KingOfMe1]

I guess crack and heorin should be legal too because most people can figure out how to get it.

[exitseven]

@KingOfMe1 you know, you have a point. Although i don;t think I could get heroin if my life depended on it.

[Adaeva]

@KingOfMe1 All drugs should be legal and have been for more than 99.97% of human existence; not withstanding the fact that a tiny percent of people both young and old will abuse the use of drugs and engage in other harmful activities,

[exitseven]

@Adaeva This is not a tiny percentage.

Like a woman, you argue the exceptions. Not ever once have I seen that where I live.

[exitseven]

@Adaeva This is in every democrat run city in the country. In most cases it is worse.

[Snakeyes7]

Sounds like a good idea on paper but it sets a very dangerous precedent for the internet in general.

[Jerre]

There has to be a better way than showing IDs.

[Jerre]

@Physics-Man Thank you for the Like

So the government can know what you jerk off too. Especially useful if you are ever being prosecuted or the police neec evidence to build a case

[TheSpaceGnome]

No, seeing depictions of nudity or sex is not harmful to anyone.

[KingOfMe1]

I just talked to a 13 year old porn addict. You are young enough to know what you just said is a bunch of bs.

[TheSpaceGnome]

Watching porn isn't harmful. If anything it gives an outlet for people to release themselves so they aren't doing anything foolish. I have the feeling that you and I are going to disagree on what is or isn't an addiction.

[TrueConfection]

No. Parents need to be more involved.

[KingOfMe1]

Na. People blame the parents. The parents are kids themselves and ignorant to the moon. How about we care about kids and make people have to verify their age in a more reliable way. I just was talking to some kid who is struggling to stop watching porn. Wasn't any where near 18.

[TrueConfection]

@KingOfMe1 The patents are kids? What?

[TrueConfection]

*parents

[astrophelle]

Nope

[Iron_Man]

Sure…

[SmokinAces2000]

That’s doing to much

[KingOfMe1]

I just talk to a kid who is trying to quit watching porn and he is struggling. So it is not doing too much. Especially for something like drugs or porn. The people who want to use it will surely verify their age.
