Would You Give PornHub Your ID?
notes
an excellent conversation that highlights the challenges of a society with a moral compass that has outpaced it's technical abilities.
i think what is missing from the conversation is a recap of what parents can do today, instead of relying on ill fitting laws and technology to solve problems.
the embodied world isn't perfect and good solutions do not have to be either. broad solutions sometimes assume perfection and i think if we are going to look at problems from all angles, it's worth inviting the smaller scale angles as well: how parents talk to their children about this, how schools talking to their students, how school friends talk to each other, etc etc

summary
A new study shows that while search traffic to Pornhub (which complied with a Louisiana law requiring age verification for pornographic websites) dropped by 51 percent, traffic to its noncompliant rival, XVideos, rose by 48.1 percent. This highlights the challenges of regulating online pornography and the unintended consequences of such policies. The episode discusses the complexities of regulating internet content for minors, exploring the limitations of government intervention and the role of technology in circumventing restrictions.
