    How in any way shape or form does this do anything to protect children?

    It doesn’t. That was never the intention, it was purely pretext.

      And the implied “If you fight against this you must want to abuse kids/want to make it easier for kids to get abused”

          Sweet jesus. The phrase “This does not look good on paper” doesn’t even come close to cutting it.

          Every day you see something new that really makes you want to drop tungsten rods from orbit onto these shitheels.

              That’ll definitely be true in the next decade if they (replace ‘they’ with the name of legitimately any country) keep killing journalists and brutalising any civilians brave enough to record their jackbooted fingermen.

              That or they’ll just make it so you can’t view anything the powers that be have decided is ‘problematic’ without providing a full 3D facial scan, your full name and address, monitoring your expressions to see what you unconsciously think about it… waitaminute that’s what they’re already doing!

                It turns out those old geezers who believed the internet would democratise information wasn’t so crazy after all… the internet was sure starting to look like it could actually do it. And now the libs are doing everything in their power to put a stop to it - all because the internet torpedoed the liberal consensus on Israel they have spent untold amounts of treasure on keeping afloat over the decades.

                    Yep. I’m an old… I remember what that was like and how easy it was for them because I was there.

                    That’s why when I see leftist pundits say, “being on the internet is not true praxis!” my eyes roll so hard I almost perform an involuntary backflip.
