It should be up to the parents. If they give a shit then they should deal with it. If they don’t then whatever. It shouldn’t be up to the government to decide and regulate it because they’re going to do a poor job creating the rules, and probably some conservatives are going to have things blocked that aren’t porn and are helpful to some kid’s sexual education because they’re regressive.
That sounds like the real motivation for this nonsense: not to protect kids from harm, but to protect their parents from the responsibility of properly educating them.
