It's only a matter of time before a data leak happens.
That'll be a fun day.
Already happened with Discord. 70,000 government IDs leaked. https://discord.com/press-releases/update-on-security-incident-involving-third-party-customer-service
Especially when it's those same politicians that like the porn that they rail against (or illegal porn).
if they just need a face scan... whats stopping a million "donald trump"s from appearing?
It's probably the FREE STATES OF FREEDOM STATES!
That's because more than half of the country is some combination of evil and/or retarded.
And the other half use websites that don't care about being legal.
Pornhub
sister sites
Guys, I've cracked it.
What are you doing step-bro site?
Hear me out!
What if parents did their fucking job as they should instead of demanding the state to do it for them, only for it to get hijacked by both
- christofascists wanting to make it illegal to not live a "christian life",
- and corporations wanting to ensure competition will need to pay a shitton of money on age verification AI?
Parents aren't doing this. It's purely a move by the elite to tighten the grip of the surveillance state, using the guise of "protecting the children" to absolve themselves of any scrutiny.

I'm not sure where the data is that shows this, but it's pretty easy to find out the law makers aren't responding to voter demand and they don't care about protecting children, like most laws this isn't about the supposed motivation it's most likely a way to goose up VPN stock value.
Nothing will meaningfully improve until the rich fear for their lives
This is going to expand. The next wave is going to be keeping kids off of social media. That means they will have to be age-verified, which they can't do, because they're kids, and don't have ID. Instead, everyone else will have to be age-verified in order to use the Internet.
Here in Florida, I've already heard one state lawmaker scoffing at any objections, saying it's the same way we keep kids from buying alcohol - by checking EVERYONE'S ID. Now they're going to do it for the Internet. Every movement and post you make on the Internet will be directly tied to your verified identity. That should be perfectly fine, as long as you aren't doing or saying anything wrong, right?
it’s the same way we keep kids from buying alcohol - by checking EVERYONE’S ID
Tell him there's a big different between checking an ID and making copies of one

It's not just for porn anymore though. My new phone required it to use certain applications. Facebook requires it to sell on marketplace. As for conversations about it, all of this went to supreme court at least 6 months ago, spoilers, they lost in terms of protecting our privacy. There are days THEY win inside my head & I assume they're recording & adverty within my dreams. you don't even need to be a tin-hat wear crazy to believe things like that anymore.
About eight years ago, I moved out of the US to a Third World country but each day it feels less and less like a Third World country.
Same, but a bit longer for me. I still find it crazy that so many people want to move to the US. It's not the place people dream of.

This may be the real reason r's are losing all of the elections, lol. They are entirely red states.

Whaaat, the party of small government is doing this? Impossible.
I'm just over here in "hellscape" California enjoying the freedom to not have to do this, and I can walk down the street to the weed shop, and my girlfriend still has basic human rights over her own body.
Do any other states, like Texas, need some of our freedom? We've got some to spare.
