But we restrict all of those things for young minds. We keep 8-year-olds out of the adult bookstore and the nightclub. We put warnings and age restrictions on media. We keep the adult stuff off to one side and have some reasonable guidelines in place to prevent their access.
The Norwegian government is saying that SM is the adult stuff, with interaction with strangers and data collection, and minors shouldn’t navigate that. It’s not keeping them off the internet altogether, nor should it. I don’t see how that’s a tech panic. It’s a precaution similar to all the other precautions that we put in place for adult content.
