If it was literally just limited to pornography I think the case for the act would be at least presentationally quite strong. I think basically everyone agrees that children shouldn’t be accessing porn, and the act makes that slightly more difficult.
But the act is so vague that it basically makes anything potentially offensive illegal/behind an ID check. The government is wanting to let 16 year olds vote, but they can’t watch videos of protests or read tweets about grooming gangs without a VPN? It’s just so illogical.

Offtopic but does it annoy anyone else that every single photo of Elon Musk looks like he spent hours practicing in a mirror to look cool.

If he doesn’t like it, that’s probably a good recommendation.

The fact a sub like r/stopdrinking is flagged shows this policy is bullshit

“Without artistic of critical merit” shows a lot of holes in the argument.
The basic issue here is prudishness. If you took a historically significant artistic French film with a lot of nudity and showed it to 12 year olds, wouldn’t that be called pornography? Sure it would. That’s the issue.

Complete overreach in my opinion. Maybe parents should be more considerate when it comes to their kids and their kids use of the internet.

It reminds me of that photo of a gate with no side walls.
It was necessary. I did not need to see actual murders and extreme porn when I was like 13 years old. I’ve seen some sick shit online that was too simple to access as a kid.

Please explain why he thinks things children aren’t allowed to see and be part of in the real world should be acceptable in the online world my guess is money plain and simple

Repeal the Online Safety Act and replace it with my idea the Parental Accountability Act
The PAA would make parents criminally liable for the actions of of their children below the age of 18 on the basis that the child engaging in criminality means the parent has not raised them properly and thus engaged in child neglect
