Age assurance will be the gateway to government issued(via corporate proxy) internet usage permits.

True, but I'm also not convinced that a ten year old being able to be face to face with hard-core BDSM and incest fetish porn within 40 seconds of opening a web browser is healthy.

I don't like this but don't have another solution other than the porn industry self-policing which isn't promising.

For kids with a guardian, the answer is enabling and empowering the guardian to control what the child can access.

Somehow we've inappropriately shifted responsibility away from parents/guardians in some areas like internet access.

In other areas, like letting your kid go outside by themselves, we've criminalized reasonable caregiver actions.

It's a wild world.

Another way of looking at it, is that when you put the responsibility of protecting a child from harmful content on the parent, you're deciding to only protect the children with the right kind of parent.
