If you think these bills will do anything to stop teens from accessing porn or women from being trafficked, I have a bridge to sell you. And if you think Republicans actually care about the health and well-being of vulnerable women, I have an even more luxurious bridge to sell you.
That sounds like a parents job then… Like shouldn’t the parents be the ones keeping up with what their kids access and look at on the internet to make sure they don’t access that stuff then? Shouldn’t they be, you know parenting them instead of letting the state parent everyone else for their failures?
I thought as an American adult I could do whatever I wanted within my legal rights free from government over reach.
Now I’m being told I have to give my personal ID to a non-government website (to eventually get hacked and leaked, hurray another vector of ID theft being opened up!)… Because other people can’t properly take care of their kids or take 15 minutes out of their day to set up a network filter like my parents did? Or even, you know… Just talk plainly to their kid…like growing up I saw blood and guts and gore from films (fictional entertainment and educational ones played at school) but my parents took the time to explain the things I see and interacted with in the world
This is gross government overreach and is entirely anthetical to American ideals. And as much as I hate the slippery slope argument, do you really trust the American government to not abuse the precedent being set here and expand on it?
This whole thing feels gross. Imagine the government later on starts saying that you have to have mandatory ID and facial scans to access certain websites. Imagine they use that to track down individuals who made aggressive or hyperbolic comments such as expressing dislike for a political party or person. I can imagine so many scenarios where this just goes from bad to worse that I can’t type fast enough. The potential for something like this to slowly or even rapidly become abusable is infinite since we already have countries enacting on these models that started out with these same or similar requirements before ramping up.
Combine this with the stuff Google is trying to do and oh man, the future looks bleak for free internet and communication and the further enrichment of the elite and powerful… Road to hell is paved with good intentions and all that
Oh the attack isn’t personal. I did refer to all republicans , there’s enough of my disgust to go around.
Keep in mind that the republican party is the one that is courting Fuentes, and the meak attempts of republicans trying to curb pornography, sex ed, and LGBTQ content in public libraries is based off of a conservative Christian attempt to control and curb the dissemination of information related to sex and gender.
I do find this whole discourse sad and pathetic since this kind of control over content and identity never ends up having any positive lasting effect. The children of conservative parents generally become fed up with their repressed out of touch parents and becoming liberals. Or they end up in a hate filled exclusionary community that only accepts them based off of some form of restriction of expression and personhood.
To the majority of republicans, i will say that youve made yoir vision for the future plain. We all get that you want a future where generally white male strongmen determine the course of humanity. And to that I say fuck off.
Coomers crying fascism because kids can’t jerk off to sexually trafficked women.😐

you have TWO bridges?!?
I mean, do you not?
“Gee Bill!” etc.
Meanwhile Nick Fuentes wants a child bride…it’s almost as if sad excuses for sacks of shit republicans want to control the sexuality of children…

I mean, that’s also bad?
When we started opening up about sexuality, sexual assaults tanked. It also tanked when we started teaching sex ed to kids
There’s a difference between sex ed and having them jerk off to porn, much less encouraging them with unrealistic expectations on sex.

LOL, you went with a strawman & personal attack because you know your actual argument is garbage.

It’s incredibly hard to change an Intelligent mans mind. It’s impossible to change an stupid mans mind.
Did you just come from reddit with that lame cliché
The entire user base of Lenny came from Reddit, so what?
