I think you guys are misunderstanding my stance on this. I don’t like this solution either.

But I do want to make sure people are celebrating this for a reason that makes sense, and not because they don’t care if kids have access to pornography.

Because I do not believe that anyone is able to monitor someone else’s internet access exclusively at all times. Kids go to friends houses, or get friends devices all the time.

Pornography is accessible in places that are not exclusively pornhub.

You would have to block lemmy from your router if you had kids, for example.

Not many parents are even tech savvy enough to know that’s possible, or even what lemmy is.

This is not the right solution, but neither is slapping a label of 18+ on content.

It wouldn’t surprise me to learn that a lot of people commenting on this are just absolutely fine with children being exposed to inappropriate sexual materials online. Because lemmy’s user base skews hard to the left
