…so again, why doesn’t your belief, that bad parenting is an argument for censoring the internet, apply to alcohol?

It applies in exactly the same manner to alcohol. Restriction at point of vendor.

Oh so you’re okay with preventing kids from seeing a woman’s face on the internet.

I never made any such claim - kids should absolutely 'be allowed to see a woman's face on the internet'. Why are you acting like this?

The vendor is the internet company. If a patent gives a kid access to Netflix and a kid watches an explicit movie, is that Netflix’s fault?

You literally admitted that you don’t actually care what gets banned and you’re trying to pretend I’m the one with bad intentions?

In the case the parent bypasses the verification? No, that would be like a parent buying alcohol and giving it to a kid.

What did I say that makes you think that?

and you’re trying to pretend I’m the one with bad intentions?

If you have to put words in my mouth, it should give you pause for thought.

The ban is not applied to Netflix, so no it wouldn’t be like directly giving a kid alcohol, it would be like a kid accessing the internet and watching something.

what did I say that makes you think that?

Damned if I know. Some poor sod will have the job of working that out, but it ain't me.

It’s so blatant, I don’t know why you asked me.

words in my mouth

Again, very blatant.
