I think this is an excellent amendment to the law that the citizens of Liberland are currently voting on!

I have mixed feelings on this.

It seems appropriate to protect those who cannot consent, like children, from sexual misconduct. That is coercion.

I am not okay with the state defining things like “sexually explicit content”, “age-inappropriate content”, or “legal obligations” for producers to “restrict content” for minors.

Will adults need to verify age before accessing the content? Will women need to wear special garments in the interest of “protecting religious and cultural values”? How far does enforcement go? How much financial burden must producers take on before it is unreasonable? These may seem like extreme examples, but these types of things tend to expand instead of staying within a narrow scope and expecting any state to be reasonable over time does not make sense.

How can the state define these things while also positing that parents have the final authority?

Adults should not be reduced to consuming only what is fit for children. I think parents should have not only have the ultimate say-so but also the ultimate responsibility.
