    And this is relevant how exactly?

      I’m asking is the response proportional to the damage? I never said I thought it wasn’t harmful or that we shouldn’t regulate access. Obviously many people are upset with the adult verification methods that these states are using, but is this a necessary evil or virtue signaling? All we know is that kids shouldn’t view porn, so how far does that get taken? All the way to a complete ban? What’s the measure of success even?

        ID checks to do porn have basically zero effect on minors’ ability to view porn.

          Exactly. So I don’t imagine lawmakers will quit there. And my previous posts weren’t to say, “It’s only crack. How bad can it be?” But more to say, “Let’s define the problem before we try to fix it.” Stating the problem as, “Kids are looking at porn,” is oversimplifying and misses the cause and effect.
