Lol yeah let's not hold parents responsible for monitoring their children's internet usage. Instead we should make everyone install government mandated spyware.
I mean that’s what they’ll say it’s for. Because nobody wants to let kids watch porn obviously. But in practice; 

People who want to visit these websites will have to install an application for government-licensed digital certification on their mobile phones to prove that they are at least 18 years old.

Yeah that’s very different to blocking access to porn for minors. >

The Reddit take: "This is clearly government overreach, an attempt to backdoor computers!"
The reality: This is some minister or group of them trying to raise their profile with a perennial move, one which is absolutely never really enacted. >

So a government official who is promoting government overreach..... >

Right, as a career builder, not a realistic plan. >

thats how it all starts buddy. better rally against it now as hard as possible instead of just treating it like some far fetched idea which could never actually take hold in society. >

This isn't rallying, this is voidscreaming. >

gotta start somewhere dude. >

Question is, what do they define as a pornographic site? Twitter openly allows porn, and if people have to visit a site to tweet it's going to kill the platform in the country. People by and large aren't going to install an app to upload pics of the meal they last ate with the caption "thinking of him." >

So does Reddit. Going to be a very tough implementation. >

And yet the age of consent in France is 15.  So you can have sex with someone who isn't old enough to watch porn for three more years. >

Literally the French President was banging his 32 year old teacher at 15 who is now his wife >

sorry what >

You heard him. >

I hope they know that a fucking 6 year old will be able to find their way around those apps. This is old people reacting to things that scare them. Kids shouldn't be looking at porn, obviously. But this isn't going to stop them. >

They will probably install a VPN instead of a government app >

And that's a smooth segue to our sponsor, Nord
- kid >

Why not just be better parents... crazy fucking thought >

Bold move to boost the IT education of the youth. Bravo! >

Pretty much. I doubt any teenager's gonna say "alright, guess I'm not watching porn anymore" and leave it at that. >

"I'll just use my NordVPN!"
