Restrictions on porn, social media advancing in Iowa Legislature

I'm all for restricting pron to kids

cannot make it too easy for those of us that dealt with this

I actually remember that one
 
$10,000 fine for each offense if a platform is found to have allowed a minor access without parental permission.

Wouldn't it be easier for platforms to simply stop doing business in Iowa altogether rather than risk these huge fines?
 
Also, it looks pretty clear that these Republican idiots in Des Moines have no idea how this technology actually works.

"Originally, that bill would have required the activation of a filter whenever a minor in Iowa activated a phone or created an account on a phone. But the bill is being reworked after phone manufacturers said such a law would be infeasible because manufacturers do not delineate to which states phones are shipped."
 
This is why the GOP deserves to lose. This is the 21st century. Don't want your kids watching porn? Monitor their devices. The government shouldn't be controlling what kids see. That's a parent responsibility.
We’ve been trying to tell you. The Republican evangelicals want to make decisions for everyone. They are for freedoms that they approve of.
 
Finally the GOP doing something meaningful to protect kids!! It is about time. I applaud this move.

I can rest easy knowing that when my kid is being shot up at school they won't have been witness the horror and filth that is porn. That $hit could scar a kid for life!
Yep…nothing about guns, the leading cause of death in children. Hypocrisy at the highest level.

I'd love to see how much porn the Republicans pushing this legislation consume. My guess is it's a lot. Kinky stuff, and lots of say stuff. But, that's just for research purposes so they know what to ban.
Just look at the Speaker of the House and his little pact with his kid to monitor porn usage.

Speaker Mike Johnson claims he has really gotten a handle on his porn addiction via a porn accountability agreement with his son. Seems like the Rs in a tizzy could all join such a group.
Beat me to it.
 
LMAO at the libs upset at measures to keep easily accessible porn from children. You guys really are sick…
Well, at least I can keep a handle for longer than 2 days. But, thanks for checking in for the party of small government and personal accountability.

Some people ITT should actually do the research on what porn is doing to young undeveloped brains. I hate government overreach, but parents are doing a poor job these days. Just look at the number of kids at a restaurant plugged into an IPad so mom and dad can get drunk off of watered down cocktails in peace. People wonder why kids are so messed up now days.
What did you jerk it to during your Leave It To Beaver upbringing?
 
The GOP guaranteeing another generation of voters never votes for them. So, if my math is correct, when the Boomers finally die off the GOP will never see another majority anywhere.

BTW, MAGA, you shouldn't be worrying about the Dems trying to get illegals here to vote (which isn't actually happening). You should be worrying about your party pissing off 3 entire generations, all of which will be for the next, oh, 40-50 years.
The implication being you are all for trading porn to kids for their future votes. Smh

Lol at the libs wanting kids to have porn because they hate Republicans.
 
Lol doing just fine. Social media is rotting the minds of our youth, science backs this claim but your don’t buy that it’s a problem. I guess you should be asked the same question.
I didn't say it doesn't come with problems. I just think the ever more popular trend of old people propagating the idea that social media is at the core of all or most societal problems is overblown, especially when the finger points at youth. They're as resilient as humans have ever been and will find a way, the adults on the other hand...

i agree social media is a big problem.
Do you have kids? If so, are you setting the example you want your kids to follow and staying off of social media?

Good for you if you are.

Where were these concerns six months ago? Two years ago? Any year ago? Seems like this is just the latest manufactured outrage of the week to excuse junk legislating by the Rs.

Id say social media has wreaked havoc on boomers. The people that would forward you chain emails 20-25 years ago that would say they would have bad luck if they didnt forward an email to 12 people by midnight are the ones that believe litter boxes are being put into bathrooms in rural iowa schools because someone said so on social media.

My dad being one of those people.

Weird how you don’t hold Dems at federal level to same standard in regards to immigration. Wasn’t a problem for Biden six months ago until he saw his poll numbers.

I think it plays a substantial role in school shootings

But government can control what medicines kids get and parents cant? Totally adds up.

What do you propose to do about guns? Which laws would have stopped the Perry shooting?

We need better mental health care in Iowa. We need to be able to report kids that aren't right.

I bet you right now that there's are a couple kids in your school that if ordered you could identify as kids you could see committing these kinds of acts.

False. This is my only handle. And why are you so desperate to get porn to children?

This is correct.

Ban boomers from the internet. 30 minutes of tv max per day. Get outside and do something instead of watching Fox News all day.
 
I am fine with banning porn and social media for kids. And politicians. I find it hypocritical that elected officials can use social media to spread lies and misinformation, so they should be held to a higher standard. Both or none.
I agree with this.

all the hand wringing done about social media, and the ones that cry most about how devastating it is for society wont have the balls to delete their accounts.

And many will vote for a presidential candidate who posts like an unstable teenager with no impulse control.

You'll have to be more specific, because while that sounds MOST like Trump, it's not limited to him.

If you would like to provide examples of other presidential candidates posting like unstable teenagers with no impulse control, i likely would agree with you

I didn't read it your comment completely and assumed we were still talking about politicians more broadly. In which case yes... that's Trump to T.
