My whole thought on this comes down to simple terms...
1. Kids are going to have access to it just like they have for generations. It's a simple fact one needs to accept before moving forward since the price of technology has made such access easier.
1A. You are faced with the deciding to either limit technology or accept the fact youth are going to have access.
1B. Improved controls on the technology do NOT forfeit your duty as parents to monitor what your children are doing. If you feel the government needs to be involved, you have failed as a parent.
2. Companies that profit from such things as porn do have a responsibility to self monitor for child porn, spying/hidden cam and so called "revenge" videos.
2A. Companies should work with law enforcement agencies to track down those perpetrators of child porn and other illegal activities. It's not the "moral" thing to do but the right one.
2B. But it's not the government's responsibility to make it mandatory. Just fine/charge violators as they come up.
3. I don't buy for one moment any women or men involved in the trade are "clueless" as to what's going on as alleged in the lawsuit I saw posted. Each and every one of them know what they're getting involved in up front. You're being paid to have sex and have it recorded. I have little doubt such things are detailed in fine print in a contract.
3A. Caveat Emptor is in full effect for those that sign said contracts. Anyone claiming "I didn't know what I was getting into because I was young" really isn't a good argument.
3B. If one must become drunk, stoned or high to perform what you agreed to in a contract, perhaps its time to consider another line of work. Because I flat guarantee you there is a line waiting behind you to take your place.
3C. Any person thinking of getting involved in the industry could do a ten minute Google search to determine the dangers and pitfalls involved in the industry. It's very well documented and easy to find.
4. I do NOT want government enforcing their morality on me. They can work to identify those abusing the system and work against them, but I do not need nor want them deciding any more of what's "good" for me as they tend to do.
