> Protecting Young Persons from Exposure to Pornography Act.

It also says senators were afraid to vote against the bill.

Can someone explain to me why children looking at porn is a massively evil thing. Why that control should be in the hands of governments and not something a parent should decide for their kid.

Somehow looking at genitals at age 17 is an abomination but at 18 it is totally fine.

Showing half naked men and women in billboards is totally fine, but no tits dicks or vaginas.

What is so wrong with tits dicks and vaginas that we have to “protect” the children against them? All teens have a subset of tits, dicks and vaginas so it’s not like they are unaware of their existence.



I don't have strong feelings either way, but I think in practice, the vast majority of parents would choose to have their kids not view it, yet do not have a practical way to enforce that choice.
