>And the parents that are worried about their children getting fucked up by hardcore porn and social media.

Rarely brought up during the OSA debate, but I think we all know every UK ISP has "Safety Shield" on to block access to adult entertainment - by default. When purchasing the service you're asked if you want it disabled.

If parents are disabling it, they can't be that worried.

> children getting fucked up by hardcore porn

What evidence do you have that this is a reasonable concern?

I've seen plenty of hard-core porn since the age of 10 and turned out just fine. I don't know anyone in my generation that has said otherwise.

I know plenty of lifelong smokers who lack cancer, so it’s fine then?

In any case, if we’re to share anecdotes, I don’t have a single man I know that has said “wow, pornography has enriched my childhood / adult life.” I know plenty that have had trouble in their relationships, however.

1. "Parents of children", unfortunately, have little political clout (also when including their votes).

2. Children are not "fucked up" by seeing people having sex. I mean, ok, parents can be worried about them being "fucked up", but this is to a great extent the same engineering-of-consciousness that the TF article is discussing, and which the UK government wishes to affect.
