I've said it before, and I'll say it again: get parents off their lazy asses and watch over your kid and make sure they are staying safe online.
I'm not even all that old, but growing up in the 90s/00s, we had access to computers at school, and if we were lucky, we had cold computers (computers not connected to the internet) for use for things like games or word processors. We had a family machine that my parents let us use, but generally made sure we only visited sites meant for kids.
If you have kids under 13, monitor them when they use the internet. As they get older, give them a bit more leeway, but explain why porn isn't great for your mental health. (This includes talking about sex and sexuality of course), how to spot misinformation and why you need to confirm sketchy info, and of course, stranger danger and not getting yourself into bad situations, which includes apps with dark systems and gambling in addition to all the normal dangerous stuff.
You do that, and you avoid most of the problems. The internet will never be a "safe space" for kids the same way a highway never will be a safe space either, despite it facilitating the transfer of goods, services, and transportation. And yet we all will have to learn to use it and how to make the safest possible choices on it while following the written and unwritten rules of the road.
but explain why porn isn't great for your mental health
What, it isn't?
I don't know if that part is true, but watching porn as a teen can give you some very unrealistic ideas about sex. Kids will watch porn whether people like it or not, so they need to know that porn is fantasy, not reality.
Yes, this.
I'm not a smart man by any stretch, but I always assumed growing up that it was just fantasy, so never expected those same things to happen in a real situation with a significant other. I'm surprised people took it so literally, but I can't say I'm 100% shocked either.
Watching porn 24/7 isn’t great for your mental health.
And watching too much porn can mess with body image and normalize sexual violence, because younger people are looking for any clue as to how the world works and have a harder time separating fantasy and reality than adults.
I like porn, but I don’t think it’s healthy for young teens. Just like weed.
too much
Here's the problem.
Yea, what the fuck?!? Everything in moderation.
Watching over your children sounds like a lot of effort. Big Brother can do it for me, and they can remove some of the content I don’t like to see with those bills. I’m on their side so surely it wont affect me negatively.
It has never been about keeping kids safe. These are the same people undermining schools, CPS and the adoption system.
