Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

How did this start? The conversation had to be at some point
Like srsly. What. The. Actual. Fuck.
The reality is that it's a mechanism of shame/control. You teach the kid that looking at porn is sinful, masturbation is sinful/shameful, etc... Then you install "accountability" software that rats out the kid whenever he pulls it up. He's just repackaging an authoritarian, abusive household as "accountability." They also have devices that connect to your TV and will shut off the audio (based on the closed captions) if it detects a profanity.
All I can say is I am thankful that tech didn't exist when I was 17. Fucking hell. The religious bullshit did enough of a number on me.
this. it's not about the porn so much as it is the control and the ability to shame. Also, how much you wanna bet the kid gets talked to if he ever goes onto a democratic website?
Yeah imagine if this kid starts questioning anything from his sexuality to why the summers keep getting hotter. Parents should be monitoring their children’s internet usage, but it needs to be done responsibly and more like the monitor where their child goes in town. You start with discussions and trust and you verify as needed.
Yup. Same energy as a father daughter dance where everyone signs "purity contracts" and then they get a promise ring to save themselves for marriage. It's about guilt and control and religious-based puritanism. People are making this seem like a weird sex thing with religious undertones when it's totally not. It's a weird religious thing with sexual undertones. Completely different!
I imagine something more like this: Son, I got an alert that you're watching porn. I'll be there in 5. Dad, why can't we just watch porn on our own? Don't be silly son, how else will we hold each other accountable?
