What is it with everyone being obsessed with porn censorship suddenly? Why is this a trend?

At first I thought it's about control and data gathering, but this seems like too much of a genuine attempt at such a system. Why is the government so obsessed with parenting and nannying the citizens?

  • Govt. want to control access to everything
  • People are not too happy about this
  • Govt. say "to protect children, you have to install this app, under these conditions"
  • You want to protect childrens, so you do so
  • Govt. say "to protect this or that, we have to impose approved gates on many websites, based on the app you installed before"
  • You want to protect this or that, so you accept it
  • Govt. say "fuck you, you whatever is not in line with the fucking biggot at the helm of your country/federation/whatever, now we know what you do, we control what's allowed, and anything to get around the blocks is illegal and will land you in jail. Fuck you again, fucker."
  • You're a happy little plant in a pot.

Basically, it's not about porn. It's not about protecting kids. It's not about helping "victims of abuse". If anything, it's putting all these in more danger, along with everyone else.

"protect children"

  • actively defending child rape
  • calls vaccines poison
  • calls prenatal care and school lunch subsidy woke
  • spends billions bombing brown children

If hypocrisy was poisonous we wouldn't have these problems
