byeo Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 You shouldn't just be able to simply type sexual terms into Google and be instantly linked to porn. The time has come to have a sort of registered opt-in system so that young people don't have easy access to it and have their minds warped by pornography. The ridiculous performative nature of pornography does give a false impression of what sex is; anything less than being a Barby doll bimbo type or having a 12 inch penis may make the young and impressionable feel inadequate. But is that not what porn is all about ? Fantasy, anything but the "norm" ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hot As Sun Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 But is that not what porn is all about ? Fantasy, anything but the "norm" ? Sure, and I'm not suggesting banning pornography, I'm just saying children shouldn't have such easy access to it for the reasons I've mentioned.

Chris_Sleeps Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Too many children's lives are being ruined by the actions of paedophiles. Any government initiative to take action against that has my full support. In what way is that relevant? The time has come to have a sort of registered opt-in system so that young people don't have easy access to it and have their minds warped by pornography. They already have a perfectly fine system in place to control what they look at on the internet. It involves a parent or guardian taking an active interest in what they're doing. Banning things is very rarely the answer to any of society's problems. Banning anything on the internet is just unworkeable and thus ridiculous.

Chris_Sleeps Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 This clearly isn't enough though is it? Yep. It works perfectly. "What you looking at there son?". "Erm ... well ... porn." "As an adult and your guardian, I'm afraid I shall have to turn that off". Good thing I didn't suggest banning it then! Never said you did. It has, however, been banned, and banning things is rarely the answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janie48 Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Suggest some of you read the OP link from last year. One of the initial measures- "A secure database of banned child porn images gathered by police across the country will be used to trace illegal content and the paedophiles viewing it". That's already being done more frequently since those introduced proposals, so that's a little progress. Although now is its revealing what a terrible increasing problem online child exploitation is and how it needs to be seriously tackled, as you would have read on the previous link I posted, if you even bothered to read it. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-30426164 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
