The UK Labor Party, Socialists, recently had their party conference, convention, and the Prime Minister made some comment about stopping children seeing things they should not on the Internet. Problem is he does not have a clue how to do it.
Yes Visa and MasterCard have a lot of influence and control on what is processed via them. Yes they could pull the accounts of people they don't like. Truth is they don't unless it's dragged in front of them. Like Scat.
If someone does not spend $30 on a porn site he spends $30 on gas, using his credit card. They would prefer it were gas rather than porn. We lose out, they don't.
Will any Western Government do anything to stop children accessing porn? What can they do is a better question. The German experiment failed miserably, the 15 year olds and the 60 years olds get porn from non German sites. Blocking access would be a joke as well. They are part of the EU. Which ensures free trade.
I understand your frustration and it would be nice if we could ban free porn. But this industry can't get together to fight stolen porn on sites stealing sign ups, so not expecting it to lobby the White House.
