Extremely stupid idea for a law but I don’t think the people who are for this did it to sneak in surveillance. I think they are simply too stupid to understand digital tech and internet and how these laws won’t work to fix the problems they are trying to solve - namely that a lot of young do too much of the bad internet. The surveillance thing is just a bonus
Fascism starts with attacking the minorities. In this case minors are the tool, and reducing their rights to ashes will only enable further progression of fascism. It essentially feeds on discrimination.
Yeah, and get ready for those big platforms selectively leaking user data, sometimes with falsified stuff. Get ready for union leaders suddenly being outed for being into weird shit (often literally), all while they’re clueless and disgusted, as part of online smear campaigns. Always said that “cancel culture”/purity testing is a dangerous weapon that can be astroturfed by the enemy, and there’s already some precedent for that (most recently the whole Hasan dog thing). Even some leftists are trying really hard to cancel some “annoying” people among them.
Yeah, because it isn’t about that. They don’t give a fuck about kids seeing porn. Even when there are age checks, there will be plenty of free porn.
It’s all about being able to connect an online post with the author.
