    It’s never about the children, just control.

    Besides, you can make your own porn. So I hear from friends.

    Australians must prove they are over 18 before they can access adult content such as porn, R-rated video games and sexually explicit AI chatbots under new laws.

    Oh no! Not R-rated video games! Protect the children!

    Research by her agency found that one in three children aged 10-17 had seen sexual images or videos online.

    It also found that more than 70% of children had been exposed to online content showing high-impact violence, self-harm and suicide material, and information on disordered eating.

    Did that same research find that those children were negatively affected by the online content?

    It’s just about information control, they couldn’t care less about protecting children.
