This. Imagine taking stigma away from looking at porn for kids.... kids would be opening watching it in class or with their buds. Serious sexual deviancy. Yeah I remeber being a kid/teenager too, but I also remember it wasn't that easy. It took 1 hour to download a naked lady pic from a bbs on a 2400 baud modem. (you usually saved those 240p 256 color images on a floppy, lol). Before that you had the stash of magazines you found in the woods, or the one you stole from your friend's dad's work breakroom and kept under your matress. Watching scrambled playboy channel and seeing them breasts show up on screen. Then getting that free week.... that they actually showed the channel without the lines fuzzing it (that was something else...lol)... Watching your neighbor's older sister and friends at their pool with your binoculars...oh I think i said too much.
Maybe that was just me that was horn dog, but i doubt it. Thing is having to jump through hoops and all that made it more of a thrill. What thrill is there if it is easy to get. It really shouldn't be. There is a reason every country's birthrate is lower after the advent of the internet. I am sure porn is part of that. Why try to get in a relationship and get laid if you can stroke one out to porn hub any time of day on your personal hand held window to it.
Come on, that first example is hyperbole. Millions of European teens did not spontaneously burst into flames whenever they saw tits on TV or in a newspaper stand, just because they didn't have nearly as difficult a time accessing nudity or sexual content as their North American peers. Not all European countries are exactly the same, and U.S. influence has actually made Europe more restrictive in recent years than in decades past (see the United Kingdom's actions right now), but they do tend to have a culture that is far less ashamed of exposure to nudity in media and public spaces than the U.S. Which is arguably healthier for everyone, in the long run, rather than defending an excessively prohibitionist and restrictive view.
The problem is they don't want to merely add hoops for children and nothing else. They're also adding hoops for actual adults and making it harder for sexual content websites to run their business, both financially and technologically. It's not a good faith effort. These are anti-porn extremists who, while shielding their efforts with the same old tired "think of the children" rhetoric, are ultimately hardline puritans.
