Boobies can cause pleasure which is bad for nazi power grabbing.
Pleasure for free
In totally unrelated news, VPN services are thriving and have many other useful features.
This is dumb. Any decent VPN will provide exit nodes in non restricted states. Getting around this block is trivial
The majority of people do not have vpns
...yet.
Ha ha, lovely!
Also happens to open the gateway to the high seas... of piracy.
It's not trivial for most. In a space like lemmy? Sure, easy money. I have a Digital Ocean droplet out of Amsterdam, had it for years, $5 a month. No one here is impressed.
The vast majority of people have no clue what a VPN is. Stop 100 people on the street. Bet <1% can say what the acronym stands for, let alone how or why one is used.
Id say more people would know they have a vpn and what its for than people who could tell you what it stands for.
Like average people knowing they have DNA and what it does but cant tell you what its an acronym for.
Doritos N' Alcohol
The 'p' obviously is for porn.
Until the federal government sees VPN providers "subverting the state" by "enabling" age verification laws to be bypassed
Damn, and that's like, the only way to see boobs and dicks and stuff.
VPN services making bank right now
Wank bank
Florida also "blocked" kids under 14 from social media. My 12-yo and I had a solid laugh.
This all may turn out to be a good thing! Kids will learn more about security and internet!
LOL sounds like a thinly veiled effort to get more good ol' boys to go fight for Russia. North Korean soldiers there are going crazy over porn, after having restricted internet access their whole lives.
Guess who's law makers own stock in VPN services?
I don't think I give a shit if kids see porn.
If that's the thing we're worried about, and the price of dealing with it is strangling privacy, then the problem is not worth solving.
There's a lot worse on the internet. There's a lot worse on daytime television. Blood and guts and cults and informercials. Desirable crude entertainment is obviously not worth locking down the internet. I mean for fuck's sake, at least with "four horsemen" excuses, like terrorism and money laundering, we agree that those things are bad.
Things that tucked me up on the internet as a teenager wasn't porn, most of us knew that was fake. It was the live leak shit that really broke millennials
Which states banned it?
States are requiring age verification by giving your id. Sites like PH just said nah and block you from viewing the site if you're in one of those states.
