One hates having to sound like a conspiracy theorist, but since the Cheeto government is working hard on prohibiting porn, one wonders about the timing for this. One wonders if this is just another paid asshole who happily uses their family to lie and cheat to get anti porn laws to pass
Sort of a perversion of Public Interest Law.
Conservative political interests have become well-versed in the strategy of promoting and funding cases that can provoke rulings to achieve legislative consequences at the court level. Citizens United, Janus v. AFSCME, and Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization being classic recent examples.
Very possible we'll see a "Porn is de facto illegal" court case inside the next four years.
We'll watch it fail. That's for sure. Just look at the case against Larry Flynt and Hustler magazine from a few decades ago. This isn't the first time they've tried this shit. They lost miserably last time.

That was under a very different composition of judges.

The Larry Flynt case was notable because it was a significant change in the federal standard. Historically, the puritan anti-sex sentiment has been actively enforced within US law.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_obscenity_law#Legal_issues_and_definitions
The sale and distribution of obscene materials had been prohibited in most American states since the early 19th century, and by federal law since 1873. Adoption of obscenity laws in the United States at the federal level in 1873 was largely due to the efforts of Anthony Comstock, who created and led the New York Society for the Suppression of Vice. Comstock's intense efforts led to the passage of an anti-obscenity statute known as the Comstock Act which made it a crime to distribute "obscene" material through the post.
Anti-obscenity laws endured for nearly a century prior to Miller. And the current government seems to be fixated on a return to that Old Thyme Religion.
They are also still protected by the 1st amendment as far as I am aware.
They're protected by court precedent citing the 1st amendment. Any five judges can change that, assuming they don't simply wave through a decision from the circuit courts that amount to the same.
that's effectively the same thing in the eyes of the court until something changes
SCOTUS bait to progress Project 2025
Yeah.. this 100% is just about trying to make some cash.
Use Arch. By the time the WiFi drivers are compiled, the boy would have transitioned to femboy.

Laptops are like guns. If you leave them unsecured, you are responsible if your kid gets a hold of them. Who even has a laptop without a password these days.
My laptop is set up to unlock automatically if it's on my Wi-Fi network. But if I take it out of the house and try and access it then I do have to use either a password or my fingerprint.
I didn't know you could do this. I'm gonna sue all the porn sites for mental health sex life or something like that.
I would have sued the laptop manufacturer for making a device that doesn't have adequate parental controls.
If that doesn't work I'm suing the person that made the table they put the laptop on for not providing a failsafe to where you can't put a laptop that can access porn sites.
Nothing is the parent's fault. Blame the teachers. Blame the neighbors. Blame the corporations. Blame everyone but yourselves.
Remember when people took ownership of their responsibilities?
This generation of iPad-parenting is getting out of control. What do parents do nowadays anyway?
Remember when people took ownership of their responsibilities?
When was that, again?
Only when it suits them.
When you try to do good things for kids, like free school lunches and sex education, then it's all about "hurr durr it's the parents' responsibility"
As a parent, this trend in offloading all parental responsibilities onto the people around us is infuriating. Guns, cars, drugs, porn, why is any of this an issue, just fucking parent.

So if it weren't a web site... would she be able to sue 7-11 if the kid found a playboy someone else in her house bought?
Could she sue them if the employee was doing their duty, but a kid broke 7-11's rule, snuck around and stole one?
The site was illegally breached (accessed in violation of their terms) and the kid accessed content not appropriate for them.
How is the site liable? Doesn't dmca precedent here say the kid is at fault for bypassing access controls?
She should have used parental controls or I dunno, maybe password protected that laptop? Oh no, don't blame the parent! It's always someone else's fault!!!
If only there was a person that's supposed to care for and watch over this kid.
Oh son, what are you doing there....?

Imagine watching porn like everybody else and now your mom sues multiple billion dollar porn companies and everyone around you will know about her idea to do so...
When I was in 5th grade my mom tried to have a teacher fired for something and I was teased about it every day until I went to high school in a different town years later. This poor kid will never hear the end of it.
high school in the early 90’s. (trade school, granted) was great. doom on pcs after school with big 80’s era speakers echoing the shots in the halls. teachers who let us experiment. (electronics was my trade) with things like booze and “what happens if we fill every outlet with 12v electrolytic caps and turn the power back on?”
learned a lot from that guy.
he died early 2000’s from alcoholism. sigh.

Man imagine having your goon receipts be public court record at 14.
Also the National Center on Sexual Exploitation is exactly what you'd expect: a bunch of Catholic loons trying to legislate their moral dysfunction upon the country.
I'd genuinely die if the amount of times I got off to femboys while pretending to be straight got out when I was 14 .
The more I think about it the less funny it is.
A particularly vulnerable teen would consider suicide, from the bullying if not the embarrassment.
Her logic is, "I was a bad neglectful parent so now you must pay." Nonsense.
We laugh, but that mom is the kind of person that wholeheartedly supports the 'You must provide proof of age to access adult sites' laws that're poised to ruin the internet.
I believe lawsuits like this are purposefully manufactured to try and elevate this narrative. She certainly wants the world to operate like what you bring up. The more stories like this pop-up, the more conservative parents will be scared and push for legislation.

The right wings infatuation with the government needing to parent for them. Tucker opening to an audience with "Daddy's coming home" and talking about how the left thinks of the government as being the nanny state (how much protection??)
Eminem had it right, "shouldn't you have been watching him? Apparently you ain't parents"
