El Gobierno ha presentado este lunes su sistema de verificaci�n de la mayor�a de edad en el acceso a contenidos para adultos en internet. La herramienta finalmente escogida,...
Hmmmmm, if only there was a way to educate minors about sexuality before they ultimately turn to internet because adults just ignore the problem.
Lots of children have access to the internet at a very young age. I guess what you’re suggesting is sex education for 7-year-olds who might accidentally watch a video on the school yard, etc.? In fact, even 3-year-olds often use their parents’ tablet to watch P*w P*trol and may wander off with it.
Whether a 7-year-old sees adult content accidentally, intentionally, because of peer pressure or any other reason, I still think age appropriate sex ed would be helpful. I acknowledge that minors do view inappropriate content and that it is generally unhealthy, but since it can happen, and does happen, a good approach would be to educate them preemptively.
For example, these guildelines for sex ed in EU, which caused some outrage in conservative circles a few years back, suggest that “sex in media and dealing with it” is a topic for 6 to 9-year-olds.
Of course you can’t cover every outlier, but can you really stop 5th graders from sending weird shit to their friends because they’re trying to be edgy?
Edit:
Another way to think about it:
Was the content accessed accidentally? If so, I would argue this law misses the point and better moderation would be more effective and also less, y’know, surveillance state adjacent
Was the content accessed intentionally? In this case, sex ed would probably help
It’s pretty easy to install device-based “parental control”-types of software that can’t be circumvented by a 3yo. That is definitely the parents’ job.
uh yes, in fact, I think that would be very healthy. Not in a horrific South Park way, but in a “sometimes adults get naked because they like each other. And sometimes they film it. If someone shows you a video if that, it’s okay to not want to watch it. It’s okay to walk away. I someone pressures you to watch it, it’s okay to tell an adult” way.
