Practical Implementation:
- Public Internet Use Only:
- Use the internet only in public spaces like libraries, internet cafes, or at work, where you are less likely to access porn.
- Shared Devices:
- Use shared family computers or devices that you don’t own personally in public, reducing privacy and hence the temptation to access porn.
