Not only are videogames, Pokemon, soda/pop, and candy deliberately addictive... they're also marketed towards children. If there is pornography marketed towards children, I'm not aware of it.


Child porn? I'll show myself out.

The UK really seems to have a unique way of looking at the internet. Things said on it are taken much more seriously than anywhere else in the western world, and now this.

One day I watch the news and it was all about trying to stop easy access to child porn, now it seems to be trying to stop access to all porn.

Shit man, what do people have against porn? One of these days, parents are going to have to take responsibility for their children seeing shit on the internet that they might not be comfortable with. The internet is never going to be a 100% wholesome family environment, and you know what? I damn well like it like that.

Don't like it? Don't let little Timmy surf the internet so freely.

Viva la Pornography.

The Muslim population is only 5% and they're hardly massively pushing for parental controls on the Internet. They don't really act as a single group at all, in fact.

Have any reputable studies been done as to the impact of porn on the youth of the nation anyway?

I'd be quite intrigued to read any if they exist. From instinct, I'd hazard a guess that it's not as bad as the moralisers make out, but equally that it is not entirely without potential fostering of negatives onto people at an impressionable age.

I don't understand why porn is so vilified. Its not evil, its not going to destroy children's minds or lead to the total objectification of women. To be sure some objectification will happen, but that's natural (i.e. being sexually attractive) and shouldn't be suppressed. I think its natural and positive that kids explore their sexuality at whatever age they feel appropriate, rather than continue to suppress their feelings while adults act like that suppression is somehow going to lead to a well-balanced mental state later on. Its such a travesty that a modern society like Britain could make such a regressive decision, and more broadly why we still treat anything sex related as immoral, even though people do it every day and its one of the greatest joys in life.

Don't see any problem with these restrictions. Children should not have easy access to porn

I feel the 'problem' is when on the one hand you have a quite juvenile/repressed cultural expression of sex, living alongside of things like free pornography.

I don't feel necessarily that porn is in itself a 'bad' thing, but when it coexists with quite an un-open sexual culture, the coming together of those two factors can potentially lead to issues.

If anything the young mind must find it difficult to wrap itself around a culture where celebrities are photographed in various states of undress, sex is usually only talked about euphemistically, and where restricting access to pornography is a cause celebre.

This is so dumb. People should be able to regulate themselves and parents should regulate their children. The government should have no part in deciding what people can and cannot do and should have no say in what they "should" be doing on their free time. I understand that this isn't an outright ban but it is a step in that direction.

Plus it's so retardedly useless since there are already tonnes of child filters out there. It just makes lots of awkward situations and inconveniences.
You mean I just write stuff here and other people can see it?

And this ladies and Gents is how we lose Freedom. We allow politicians to use phrases like "It's for the protection of Children" to justify laws that otherwise would be considered overreaching and utterly unacceptable.

Democracy is steadily being destroyed in the name of the children and people are too blind to see it.

Yeah totally, except for all of the different exceptions to this that already exist and you don't have an issue with and don't even consider when you make gigantic statements like this.
