Its just an excuse. Its not about "protecting the children". Its a war on free, open, anonymous internet. They want to be able to track, censor and remove any individual who leans their dirty secrets. No longer youll be able to read about, for example, all the illegal shit Trump did. You'd already be blacklisted, banned, censored or just jailed. That is the end goal, nothing else.
- Yes, and to be fair, it doesn’t mean that protecting children is not a side effect of restrictions.
  EDIT: yall are obsessed with porn. Could the restrictions be implemented better? Sure. Is it going to stop some kids from looking at porn online? Yes. Is it going to solve the entire problem? No.
  
  It doesn't do that. None of this does that
  
  I honestly don't really give a shit if some kid stumbles onto porn. I'm sure that's how many of us found our awakenings early on. That sounds like an issue for their parents to work out
  
  You are the only one talking about porn, but everyone else is obsessed? Hmmm…
Does anyone else think that this is kind of a bad article? It doesn't at all explain why the headline is true.
Can't wait to see them age gate their own transphobic policies
Ok, but what does any of this have to do with the GameCube in the thumbnail?
- I have hired my family gastroenterologist to figure this out and they have deduced thats probably not a gamecube in the thumbnail
All these types of rules dlnis push kids away from safer sites and towards the fringes of the internet that fly under the radar, like CP sites that don't have age verification.
It's never about the kids. Only a pedo, child haterz or both would ever try to convince you it's about the kids.
