This was bound to happen, and it’s ridiculous

    I mean who was asking for the government to show their ID to view porn as the solution to children having access to pornographic material (has never been an issue until now randomly)

      It’s always been an issue as in they’ve always used children as an excuse to enact laws that are bad for everyone. I’ve seen this shit since at least the 2000s

      It just comes back every other year or so, and they only have to pass those laws once

      This is just patient people trying to fuck over everyone else, so I imagine it’s probably at least in part religious organizations who push for this and now again they’ll pay shelves in the back in how successful they are with ensuring everyone will be as pious as they are

      I hope they die

      Literally.

      Because id they’d all die, the world would be such a nice place again

      Don’t believe for a second that this is about children.

      Imagine the policies of someone who actually cared about children’s wellbeing? Those policies would not look like bans or restrictions for the children.

        Google and Microsoft have to be dragged kicking and squealing into proper policy that actually damages their business models.

        They have been completely silent on these age verification checks, in Aus this is being implemented by an un-elected government official whose career was largely working for Microsoft for the past 20 years.

        This is all about data mining.
