    I’m sure they do, they may not understand the technical details, but I’m not sure why you think people who make rules or pass laws would think the rules or laws won’t be broken or circumvented. It’s a law, not some magical contract. If your parents say “no Xbox until you’ve finished your homework”, they’re not amazed when they find you on the Xbox 20 minutes later, homework unfinished.

    It’s been illegal to sell alcohol and porn to minors for decades now, do you think before the internet and VHS it was impossible for kids to find? Do you think the lawmakers back then were somehow baffled that the law they put in place, didn’t 100% prevent children from drinking and stiffening their socks?

      Some people thing the bans stop accesa, but it doesn’t. that was my whole point of the initial comment. Just like Prohibition of Alcohol made no difference for those wanting access. But crusaders think this will save yhe kids. Parenting and knowledge of objectification is a better path for saving the kids
