“develop a technological standard that might turn a user’s electronic device into the proof of age necessary to access restricted online content.”
Can we not? Can parents just take care of their kids like they have for thousands of years instead of futility trying to babyproof the internet for a minority of people? Jesus.
Especially since parenting is the only thing that’s going to actually work. Do you think kids won’t figure out a VPN? If they heard enough to type “pornhub”, they’ll hear about the one extra step.
And there are worse things on the Internet than porn. Some likely on Roblox.
You’re just going to have to parent your kid with or without this nanny state blocking scheme.

Okay, so lets be certain that kids do not have a direct connection with every intelligence agency, mafia and terrorist organization in the world right in their pocket, just as they did not for thousands of years. Now, to be clear I really don’t like the approach they’ve chosen here (I think we need to go much deeper into the fundamental design of the Internet), but I would hope it’s not a controversial statement to assert that our society has taken a very sharp turn for the worse ever since the Internet became ubiquitous in children’s development, and I think that really ought to prompt discussion about how it’s being used.

It’s like mandating all cars need to have an ignition interlock because some people drive drunk.
That was the opinion of the Supreme Court nearly 20 years ago in Ashcroft vs. ACLU, but here we are.
Yeah fuck the state. Only overprotective, power hungry loosers work there anyways.

In other words parents need to be parents and take care of their kids, glad you agree with the OP.
Not sure why you’re taking a tone which suggests you think I don’t agree with you.
