china to ban sexting

[johansen]

Not long ago in a forum thread that does not need to be remembered or read again, i mentioned it will be interesting to watch the left and right ends of the political horseshoe come together to solve the falling birth rate problem.

I think china is going to lead the way using a variety of methods

China launches campaign to keep killjoys off the internet

Pessimistic social media posts may now be targets of a fresh crackdown by the Chinese government.

the banning of online porn, sexting, and any other number of things like, remote control of other people's uh.. "toys"

is not to increase "moral standards"
but rather to encourage people to meet up in real life and you know.. do it in real life.

No sex? No doom and gloom? That's 3/4 of the internet!
I think efforts towards a social/cultural change may be more effective than regulations. However, it will be an interesting experiment like the age restrictions in Australia. Maybe it will work or at least help, we'll see.

I don't think it will, it is not from God and as such will fail.

so did the american christians of the 90's with their cringe worthy attempts at legislation of morality. the "pickachu is of the devil"
the "stranger danger" that led to young people today so afraid of the other sex they don't even talk to them..

etc.

it may be that God wants the population of the earth to decrease, and we need to pray about that.

(if the below replacement birth rate of today is so important, who knew that would happen 40 years ago, who were they, and why did no one listen to them?)

-because there were some folks in my opinion who said this would happen. they were written off as conspiracy theorists who also predicted race specific man made viruses....
