    Oh those poor kids.

    I remember when we banned porn for the under 18s and now nobody under 18 can access porn.

      This is my favorite argument against government regulation.

      Anything not foolproof definitely isn’t worth doing at all.

        Theres a scale of influence, with a big difference between foolproof and entirely unenforceable.

        In this case, it’s effectively unenforceable, so what’s the point in wasting time and effort drafting something that won’t actually make any difference?
