   The Louisiana online porn legislation thing just shows what'll happen if state-mandated internet content blocks become commonplace.
   
   >Government mandates websites institute a real ID check to access content
   >Websites don't do it, just block IP addresses from that government's jurisdiction
   >Users either succumb to the real ID shit, or just use a VPN
   >Internet gets more fragmented, VPN companies win, governments win, real ID use for internet access becomes normalized
   
   To see anti-establishment boomers, e-christians, and various anti-porn activists cheer on this development as a big victory of some sort is hilarious. They're cheering on our collective demise simply because they're falling for the diversionary optics of it. They're the type of person that cheered on the PATRIOT act when it first came out simply because it had a good name.

     @Duine If they want to do something useful, I think there'd be a market niche for some kind of good Christian kid-friendly platform with strict moderation, no data harvesting, posts delete after a set amount of time, etc. Just create spaces online where kids' brains won't get marinated in hardcore porn. Unfortunately the big platforms are built around data harvesting, so they nominally only cater to teens and adults. This kind of legislation doesn't clean up social media, it only hurts privacy and personal freedom.
