Pornhub isn't wrong in that people will just go to darker corners of the internet. This is totally excessive, if you don't want your kid looking at porn, be a better parent?

They're just going to go overboard with this ... not to protect children .. but to use it as a way to get everyone to become registered internet users ... to basically remove our anonymity online

What ever happened to the Internet Content Rating Association? Was that approach just too simple and effective for the politicians to accept? Not sufficiently easy to expand to cover things other than pornography? Not enough unfortunate side effects on privacy and free expression?

If there were problems with that standard for labelling potentially dangerous content, Canada could perhaps do some good by lending its support to a better one. This problem cannot be addressed except through international cooperation, and there won't be sufficient cooperation with the particular kind of bullshit they've proposed.
