A House of Commons committee is set to study legislation proposed by Independent Sen. Julie Miville-Dechêne that would require Canadians to verify their age to access porn online.

So we should do nothing and let people in their early teens see women choke on a dick while getting one up the ass and just say "What can we do? Some of them will get a fake ID! We can't make the providers take responsibility can we?"

We.can teach our youth the dangers of objectification. blocking one site out of millions doesn't stop access to porn. And if it is not age restricted in another country our youth are tech savvy enough to connect to a vpn or tor with an exit node in the countries that don't care. Prohibition does nothing other than making the item get pushed underground. They might even go back to peer to peer sharing like early computer days

You take control of what you can take control of. Fake IDs aren't new, bars still need to ask for one. Canadian porn sites need to obey Canadian laws.

Also, our youth is so bad with tech that it doesn't know how to use a computer when it reaches university, the tech genius generation was the late X and the millennials and they're all over 18.

You don't need to be tech literate for a vpn or tor app. Download it from playstore / apple store and click connect.
