The problem is not access, it’s unlimited instant access. We had to wait until our parents weren’t home to raid Dad’s stash. Or catch a tape from someone’s uncle at a sleepover. It’s a world of difference.
That being said, blocking is not the answer. Blocking the major sites just pushes people to smaller sites, which may be more likely to harbor revenge porn, underage content, nonconsensual content, etc.
Ahh, good times. One of my earliest uses of the web circa 1996 was Invisiclues for Zork II. I didn’t have access at home, so I had to play until I got stuck, then look up the answer at school the next day.
