sampoameriturds putting a ban on porn is interesting, usually they're the kind of people who want to indulge no matter what or they flip out. I have some ideas on what the downstream effects could be. I don't doubt that the boomers made do with the tv guide back in the day but the rug pull is a little different.
@druid depends, they can make it a law and whoever wants to comply will do so, which will probably only include the biggest and most "legitimate" websites. something is definitely going on, I saw this on my TL
"ban" is the wrong word because it's just age verification at this point, but I don't think any sane person is gonna upload a picture of their face and ID to jork it. I do believe there are politicians who also talk about an outright ban but they will probably go to prison for diddling before that passes
@s8n@sampo@druid you don't understand we have to virtue signal to the base. banning boobers lets us pretend to be christy without having to actually feed the poor or stop doing war :drgn_angel:
@sampo@druid its an id check but there's no real way to make sure they aren't scraping all of that identity data. it's been a stated goal by lot of congressional morons to want real ID for all internet use
not to mention the energy use for all the face scanning bullshit has been a nightmare in energy/water use. something everyone sleeps on while repeating the talking about that bitcoin boils oceans.
