Papers please: for millions of Americans, accessing online pornography now requires a government ID. It could have global implications for the future of the web.
first, I think it is easily challenged on first amendment grounds
second, I’m not an idiot and I know how to pirate shit
third, if things continue to accelerate towards disaster I believe CA is the least shitty place to enjoy a normal life (that happens to include porn, for me)
Why wouldn’t they pass that in California? California loves monitoring people. Right now it’s mostly with cars (license plate readers, and now digital license plates with tracking built-in), but I really don’t see why they wouldn’t do this. They’re already starting with social media, I would assume porn would come soon after. Yeah, they have something akin to the GDPR, but that’s not at odds with tracking people, it’s just a nod so people don’t notice what they’re up to…
Screw California, they don’t care about privacy at all.

Hahaha… why? You don’t think they wouldn’t pass a national ban if they could muster the votes?
Yeah, we have to stop it! Literally pussy, tits and cocks power the Internet use. I wouldn’t use it if it was just reading shit.
They would. “States’ rights” is bullshit that they start with only when they fail to regulate at the national level. Every time.

Smells like a slippery slope fallacy to me
