    To be fair… IMO I think that idea is mislabeled and misunderstood.

    Now the idea of opposing porn is just plain stupid. I’d expect any teenager to get their hands on porn and going against that is nonsense. But I’d say the labeling saying that it’s watching porn with your son, is very misleading.

    The point of it is, it’s just a porn blocker with a detection switch, it’s not so you and your son can brag to each-other over what porn you are into. It’s made basically a switch to rat you out if you tried to bypass it.

    IE that would be like if an alcoholic had a device that sends his wife an alert any time he tries to get an alcoholic drink. It’s made to discourage you from trying because you’d be caught.

    Again I fully disagree with that software because, I don’t see porn itself as inherently harmful, but if you accept the idea that porn is harmful, I see it as a reasonable method to try and discourage yourself from accessing it.
