Raising your kids is your responsibility, not mine. Don't push the consequences of your decisions onto me.

> But there are these giant faceless corporations pushing unrestricted, often depraved content to minors and people stand up for them. And this content often includes anonymous uploaded content with underage girls.

...right. You got a little too into the hyperbole here. All the remotely popular websites you may think of are restricted and are compliant with the law as far as monitoring for and removing CSAM content is concerned.

And this does not really need to be said, but nobody is standing up for anything related to such content.

Also quite obviously, people who upload such content are not going to be deterred by whatever regulation you can possibly think up.

> I'm sure this will get downvoted, but help me understand what the visceral reaction is.

"Here's a dead kid, now give up your rights."

> I've heard people argue that this kind of adult content isn't harmful, but it seems obvious that it is, especially to children.

Yeah, and I'm all for parental controls. So far as they do not infringe on my rights to say, privacy.

Why exactly can't we force phone manufacturers to engineer phones with the option to turn on "child mode" that gives parents full control and insight over everything the child does? Only whitelisted apps are allowed and there's a special web browser that only allows whitelisted websites. The parent gets to see a full audit of what the child has seen, including URLs visited. Done. No need to burden every single already existing OS and internet-facing software with this nonsense.

Oh, and take some responsibility for raising your own kids. I'm tired of increasingly being forced to do it for you.
