Considering things that are, or could be considered as, porn are everywhere from Reddit to Wikipedia, that doesn't fix the issue. But I agree, this is something for parents to deal with, not legislation.

    Yeah, and while we're at it, kids should be able to buy alchohol and drugs and go to strip clubs. It's just a parenting issue.

    Make phones 18+ to buy. Make it a legal requirement for parents to set up parental controls. Make parental controls not suck ass. Make the phone tell the website if child or adult no age brackets nonsense. IMO children don't need access to all websites.

    Still there are some issues where abuse can come from parents but hey if they wanted they could give their children alcohol too so that point doesn't really fly with me.
