"Age verification" laws are actually "upload your ID or get your face scanned to access every website, ending anonymity and associating your identity with everything you do online" laws and if more people understood that they would not be down for this authoritarian nonsense

Bro but have you thought about the kids

The same regimes across the world that enable child rape by catholic clergy is now telling you that they are worried about the teenagers watching porn online ๐Ÿคก

9 year olds in Gaza have seen the destruction of their homes and community and likely seen bodies shredded by bombs and shrapnel. I don't give a fuck if a 9 year old wants to see a tit.

This ain't about what you want, boy

This is about what daddy wants and he has ability to get whatever he wants.

Crux of the dilemma tbh

9 is WAY too young for sexual content. I don't even think Muslim men should be allowed to marry a girl until she's AT LEAST 12 or older.

Hold on Tony, wtf

What about Alabama men?!

I got the sarcasm. But I don't know how many others would. Of course I'm the kind of person who would make that kind of dark joke.

9 is WAY too young for sexual content.

But is 9 old enough to watch their family being shredded by bombs or bullets? Note that, following your impressive declaration, you may rejoice about their home being bombed because, like mom and dad, the home TV and computer are also more than probably somewhat out-of-order. Therefore that poor innocent 9 year-old kid will be spared the atrocious temptation to watch a fucking tit (or fucking tits)!

FFS, didn't you get a handbook telling you how to use that spongy thing that has been hibernating (optimistic version) between your ears all those years?

The term was coined by Timothy C. May in 1988. May referred to "child pornographers, terrorists, drug dealers, etc.". May used the phrase to express disdain for what he perceived as "Think of the children" argumentation by government officials and others seeking to justify limiting the civilian use of cryptography tools. Connotations related to such argumentation continue to be attached to the phrase, and it is more commonly used by those who wish to deride various restrictions on Internet activity than by those who support such restrictions.

Never trust them, they've proven themselves untrust****

I'd just stop using the internet at that point.

It's by design. There are laws that prevent tracking of minors, and this law legally bypass those.
