Pornhub will block access to its site in five more states in the coming weeks.

    the only way to protect kinds (like little me) is to block the porn.

    This is false.

    Parents have a number of options available to them that do no need to involve the state.

      Imagine parents actually parenting instead of blaming everyone else but themselves?

      What are those options?

      Domain and IP block lists?

        Healthy parenting would go a long way. See some of the other comments in this thread.

        You can also have settings on your local network. If you’re afraid of your kid casually finding something inappropriate, you can set that up stuff locally without involving the government. A determined kid will still find a way to get stuff, so this is more a safeguard against accidental discovery.

        Investing in quality education would also benefit everyone.

        Parental controls and an /etc/hosts file for good measure
