im assuming the idea is that a failing economy wants to instill puritanical bullshit like this because they think that young men and women will want to fuck each other more now that they cant masturbate as easily. and thus will increase the birthrate, which over time will stimulate the economy by having more low born wagies and soldiers to support and defend a dying status quo.
by formally giving your ID and biometrics for access to porn, you set yourself up down the line for legal blackmail if you ever try to resist, or become a personality of resistance in any way.
the elites have done this for years to one another, now, they want to create a system of manipulation where regular, normal pornography can be used as a tool of manipulation on the masses.
"oh, you think we shouldnt support israel? well thats a ironic coming from a degenerate deviant pervert who likes oiled up big booty latinas and stacked furry futa hentai"

If we're making it more our own again, and harder for them to understand it we then as people regain our Internet.
They wanna play whack a mole with millions bring it on 😅
This is really interesting, but I guess I don't fully understand it. Does this replace your ISP (like Comcast for example), or am I just reconfiguring my browser to access these sites and not send my traffic through the regular Internet?
I don't really understand it either. Sounds like a series of tubes.
What AI had to say about it:
edit: going deeper, you have peers, and those peers are used to route and re-route your traffic. To basically scramble it. Its a more sophisticated and decentralized way of encrypting traffic. There are reseed nodes which are not decentralized that function to create initial connections and find peers. Once these peers are found though, you are on a completely decentralized darknet, so in theory your traffic is way more scrambled and way harder to trace.
If you just want to get on the regular internet though (clearnet), its possible, but it seems this is not really the way to go as it isn't as secure and it is slow. Tor would be a better option..
Fundamentally it seems a lot like torrenting except much more secure. Your ip address is hidden, instead people see your cryptographic identifier. Your traffic is encrypted multiple times. A more simple comparison to torrenting; instead of peer to peer, it is peer to a long chain of peers, in which no peer can link the start chain to the end chain.
