    I don’t agree with the way it’s has been done, but there is a necessity for a tighter regulation over minor’s visitation to pornographic content on the internet. Not entirely (that’s not feasible or desirable even), but the impact this and others has had in the youth’s mental health globally has been largely ignored by non-religious or overly-controlling people and is something that should be serious discussed outside of the sexual liberty context that it is often placed within.

      Regulation threatens innocent people with the guns of law.
      Parents not monitoring their children’s internet access is not an excuse to harass people.

    It should be clear voting is an important thing to do because of this. Virginia is not a red state, yet here we are. One single election has cost us legal marijuana (it was passed under Democrat control, but the Republicans have all but destroyed it) and this, as well as several other issues.

    To be clear, I’m aware this passed with bipartisan votes, but it’s because it was going to pass regardless and running with your opponent’s attack ads saying you voted against “protecting children” will be very harmful. VA is in a spiral with “children” as the supposed focus for basically theocratic control. Voters are uninformed enough that they will believe the ads and whatever they hear on the “news” without checking what the law actually was. It’s becoming a real issue.
