Framework

So wait, you take your shoes off at the door, but your dogs (who invariably step in their own piss and shit), have free reign?

Agreed. We need to revert to meaningful tax brackets and apply some new ones to prevent billionaires.

It’s the cancer that capitalism truly is. If you’re not growing, you’re failing and enshittification is an inevitable late stage consequence of capitalism.

It’s just pump and dump.

Can we not just rip shit straight from Reddit to repost here? At least crop out the Reddit interface 🤦‍♂️

Wow so the first one failed, then they relied on its replacement completely and blindly. It’s dumb shit like this that made me stop feeling bad for those who experience data loss.

This is the issue at hand: How do you prove it is an adult and not a child attempting to access the content?

Solutions exist for parents to block/allow access to content on routers, cell phone plans, and devices. The government does not need to impose here.

Yes. It should be a multifaceted approach, and increasing sexual education is absolutely a part of that. Good luck getting more funding for education ESPECIALLY if it could be used for sexual education in these red states though.

They preach abstinence and then feign surprise when that’s not what happens.

It doesn’t really matter what the content is. Allowing the government to dictate what content can or cannot be accessed is not a good idea.

I see what you’re asking, and I agree if we’re going to prevent physical access to strip clubs by minors, it makes logical sense to take steps to prevent minors from accessing prurient content online as well.

The question becomes the exact methodology used to achieve that. It’s the same basic premise of making encryption illegal: Are we willing to sacrifice our privacy in the name of “protecting the children”?

Come up with another way to restrict access that doesn’t further encroach on privacy. I don’t have the answer for what that is, and it may not need to involve the government, but allowing them to put bills like this in place sets dangerous precedent. Once we relinquish power to the government, it’s damn near impossible to get it back.

The reason is a technical one. At a strip club, none of your information is being transmitted; it’s just the bouncer making sure you’re of age by looking at your ID.

Per the EFF:

Age verification systems are surveillance systems. Mandatory age verification, and with it, mandatory identity verification, is the wrong approach to protecting young people online. It would force websites to require visitors to prove their age by submitting information such as government-issued identification. This scheme would lead us further towards an internet where our private data is collected and sold by default. The tens of millions of Americans who do not have government-issued identification may lose access to much of the internet. And anonymous access to the web could cease to exist.

Do you remember what it was like before you were born?

Exactly.

Best to just avoid using it entirely then.

Reality has a liberal bias

I feel like I just read this

Nothing much, what’s new with you??? 🤣🔫

Shit we’ll be lucky if we make it that long
