Okay, but can we all agree that kids shouldn’t be exposed to pornography?

Define “kids”

From my post explaining the judgment in non-legalese above

4: “sweep” of law (that is, who it is designed to protect) is unclear due to widely varying harm between different levels of minors. For instance, sites that offer sex Ed to older teens would also be impacted

I’m just trying to make sure you guys agree that kids shouldn’t be exposed to pornography.

Some fucking retard is asking me to define ‘kids’ and ‘pornography’

Everyone immediately downvoting my comment of ‘you guys don’t think kids should be exposed to pornography, right?’

I think this is an important distinction. We need to start there and then we can move forward and find ways to protect them from it.

But it makes sense to make sure we are starting from the same place.

The dude asking about what kids and pornography means is probably a fucking creep

That dude is also me, and as I added to the comment, that specific difference is part of the judgment.

People are downvoting you for the same reason they disapprove of the law - your comment seems disingenuous.

I just really hate this place and the people who post here

This is a solvable problem. You can just not log in.

Not sure why you hate people for explaining a judgment to you that you clearly did not read.

I’ve been thinking about it pretty hard over the past couple days.

There is nothing for me here, why would I bother keeping this app on my phone?

I hate lemmy users because of how stupid they are and how far left they lie thinking is. ‘Explaining’ a judgment to me doesn’t answer the question of “but we still don’t want kids exposed to porn, right guys?”

And the reactions I’ve gotten even asking that question really makes me read between the lines on this. Your answer of ‘well define kids and porno’ really really make me read between the lines.

Should be a pretty easy thing for everyone here to agree on, but it’s been a visceral reaction to dodge the question and downvote the idea, even.

That tells me all I really need to know.

I’m not sure you’re really trying to understand the problem here. Why do you think people don’t want to answer the question?

It’s a simple question with an obvious answer. The real question is, why would you ask that? You’re not just looking for a, “Yes.” The obvious suspicion is that it’s a leading question, and you’ll use it to try and coerce a subsequent point. It doesn’t matter if you’re genuinely not trying to do that. It’s upon you to recognize how your own question may be perceived.

The reason the guy replied, “define kids, etc” was because he was already anticipating that this isn’t the real answer you’re looking for. I can say with considerable confidence that the vast majority of people here will understand this.

I agree that kids should not be exposed to porn.
