Back to wooded areas for you, my friend
Let this man watch porn without giving out any of his personal information. I too want to watch porn without giving out any of my personal information. You do too, if you watch porn.
The people making the rules know this. They just … in their Christian nationalist hearts believe porn shouldn’t exist. And since there’s too much precedent to simply make it illegal (they’ve tried before). So here they’re trying to make watching it as painful and degrading as humanly possible.
In other words, you’re not wrong - just preaching to the choir.
Christian nationalists say that porn shouldn’t exist while watching a lot of porn and they would get mad if someone took away their porn. They only want others to not watch porn.
They all have Sunday brain. Living one life Sunday morning that’s just disconnected from their choices they make the rest of the week.
But, that’s indoctrination for you. The most infuriating part is when otherwise good & great people decide that calling themselves Christian, setting themselves up as human shields for all the abusive controlling monsters among their number. They’ll say the monster is ‘a sinner’ and ‘doesn’t represent our values’ while rushing to the defense of Christianity. They’d rather white-wash the Christian label than fix the structural abuse done by by ‘their neighbors’ (but it’s never their church that’s the problem).
Yeah. Except these “Christians” also love to rape children. It’s pure projection on their part.
They’re usually (usually) not the same individuals, but the evil ones deliberately use the “good” ones as a shield. They’re a happy to rally as Christians to any attack from outside the religion, but will write off abuses they see internally as “not my church”.
I’d be devastated if I couldn’t watch pyrn.
I’m confused, can’t literally anyone just generate an AI selfie to submit for the censorship?
A couple news cycles ago was just talking about how AI video and image generation has progressed so far that it is really difficult for any system to tell it is AI in some cases. This seems like the perfect usecase for that.
Or does it need to link to a real person ID or something?
Selfie doesn’t work, you need to turn your head left and right to follow instructions.
But yeah, there’s a bunch of avatars that will bypass it
GMod apparently works lol
In the US you submit your ID, no face scan that im aware of (yet).
From here
It’s all part of the plan. Only this time they let the cousins across the pond do the first significant move.
The line about “educators and public libraries” gives away the real game; this isn’t about actual pornography at all.
The “pornography” they’re referring to here is any form of media that portrays LGBTQ+ people in a neutral or positive light.
The age old problem of “if you remove rights from criminals, you can just change the definition of crime to encompass the people you don’t like”
I don’t think they view it as a problem
Don’t forget people of any color but white having any kind of fun. That’s shameful, too!
🙄
He knows that video games where you can pose the character can bypass it, right?
Iirc death stranding and a few others have been shown to work.
Alternatively VPNs work.
Or piracy.
I don’t think that’s really the point.
hmm, something tells me that facepaint will come into style in the next 10 years…
I’m honestly already thinking about anti-AI recognition make-up.
I want to go full cyberpunk and get QR codes tattooed on my cheeks that will either crash the cameras or tell the recognition software that I’m a stegosaurus.
What a fuckwit.

Since when did keeping kids off of porn sites become everyone else’s problem and not the problem of parents? Oh, right, that’s just a bullshit reason to make accessing porn more difficult and a security risk since they can’t just make porn illegal.
It’s not even that. Porn is just a bystander here. The first step is put in place a very large framework for making some form of verification mandatory on arbitrary services and sites under the guise of whatever (terrorism, child protection, and extremely niche content are good candidates). Once it’s in place, it becomes the new normal very quickly.
Then, as the government, you suddenly have the power to extend the provision of said system to whatever the fuck you want. That’s where things gets funky, and not the good kind.
And look at the money.
The reasoning for this is to eventually lock the internet down completely to put up fences and paywalls everywhere to every single site so that even if you pay for the privilege of using the internet, you will have to pay more money to actually use the internet.
It is all about controlling you and taking every single penny they possibly can out of your pocket.
All of the tracking, all of the identity verification, all of the invasive watching every single thing you do on your computer and your phone, everywhere, all of the time always, is all about milking you for every single penny they can.
Even though they are insanely rich, beyond the imagination of any human being that has ever lived in the hundreds of thousands of years of humanity’s existence on this planet they still don’t have enough money and they will still never be satisfied with how much money they have.
The fact that there are free websites where people can congregate and communicate and have fun with each other without paying them for the privilege galls them.
It grinds their heart and soul the way watching a dog get shot in the head at the end of old yeller does to a normal person.
These people are evil, and we need to stop them.
When it comes down to it, we may have to rise up and slay them.
Nothing will improve until the rich fear for their lives.
I’m not saying that we should start getting pitchforks or anything right now. I’m just saying that like, they need to know that that is an option and that if they keep pushing us, they’re gonna start painting targets on their own back.
I mean, that’s two billionaires down in a year, and they’re still ramping things up. Next year, it’ll be four. The year after that, it’ll be eight. And in like 15 years, we won’t have any billionaires left unless they fucking straighten up an act right.
Sometimes they will act if they fear for their moneys.
With that said it bothers me that they will always look to strike a deal with the more pacifist/less disruptive parts of a movement in order to neutralise the threat.
Which in theory means it’s useless to actually aim for a reasonable goal but rather you need to overshoot by a fair bit in order for the deal to land anywhere near what you believe is decent.
BUT when you overshoot you come across as disillusioned and a lot of people will distance from you, making any movement impossible.
waiting for the last line to start, I can’t start it myself but I’ll join when it’s time
Bystander effect
“Oh look, we just banned all the opposition party from using any online services at all because (checks notes) campaigning against us is hate speech “
All you EU chatters going on about us in the US sitting on our asses and not doing anything about what’s going are gonna eat your fucking words if you don’t show us how it’s done, and quick, because they’re coming for you HARD right now
Maybe people should care more about voting if they dont like the results. Just sayin…
Given the context of the UK political climate, who would you have voted for?
*The tories that caused brexit (along with plenty of other scandals)
*UKIP/Reform (who’s members also caused brexit)
*Lib Dems (split the left vote and help the aforementioned)
*Labour who as of the last election, hadn’t had a go at shafting us in a while
Im not saying voting isn’t important, it is. But i’m struggling to see the connection between this issue and who could be voted for.
The only party that i’ve seen against this change is Reform, but they come with more than enough baggage…
But I was told that third parties would fix everything in the US?
With literally one change, a national-level replacement of FPTP with any other ranked choice voting system (there are plenty to choose from) would make 3rd parties not only viable, but competitive. We would no longer be required to settle for the lesser of two evils, and so the evil party and the greater evil party will absolutely do everything in their power to avoid making that change.
That’s when the databases become huge targets and the government officials get their everything leaked online. They voted against privacy, they can enjoy the stones they threw in the glass house they forced themselves into.
More reasons for gov to track everyone with face scans
It’s more than that, they want to
- limit who can post and make money off porn, and no, this isn’t to support small creators at all unfortunately
- build massive blackmail networks
- build massive sex work websites with curated AI models and videos
And yes, any time ANY ONE EVER says, “Do it for the kids, just think of the kids,” when it is not something DIRECTLY and CONSENSUALLY helping kids, but instead FORCING ADULTS TO DO THINGS, is being manipulative every time.
The only time the phrase “do it for the kids” is actually valuable is when it’s someone asking you to grill hot dogs at a picnic.
If it’s a politician saying it, “do it for the kids” is slang for “bend over and take it up the ass because otherwise you’re a bad person”.
I’m gonna be the odd one out, I guess.
At a picnic, it’s likely that you’re not grilling just for the kids; and likely that grilling means you’re excluded from other activities.
Activities like playing games with said kids.
Bringing them into the picture instantly becomes manipulative, where you can make the same argument (that they need to be cooked, and someone has to do it,) without it.
Edit to add some background: I’m an uncle, but not a father. At family picnics, my bro and parents like to use my nephew and nieces as a guilt trip so I let them task dump; even though we’re organized enough they’re fairly equitable (including watching the kids as a task, even if it’s more fun.)
SiL in particular is egregious.
It’s always manipulative, even if when the child’s wellbeing is directly involved, it’s maybe called for. But that really shouldn’t t be the case at a picnic.
Most parents don’t even realize they’re doing it- ie asking you to cover their summer vacation (and not reciprocating.) at work.
Yes and again, your example is an action of directly and consensually helping kids. The kids directly get the hot dog you made. They consent to eating the hotdog. They aren’t forced to eat it. You aren’t giving the hotdog to a third person who will then eat it and then by extension later help a child in some other way. Which btw, they should be doing in the first place.
I think the narrative is now that “parenting is hard” and you can’t expect parents to do it right by themselves. Parenting used to be easy so parents didn’t need any help but now it’s just too difficult and government needs to help.

Ahh ok, so that means they’re for parental leave, and free daycare/preschool, right?
And surely they’ll do something to lower the maternal and infant mortality rates, right?
And they’ll definitely make sure that we’re teaching proper sex education, and making contraceptives free and widely available in order to lower the rate of unwanted pregnancies, right?
Right??
Can’t raise kids? Don’t have kids. You’re not ready yet.
They can’t make porn illegal yet.
you’re allowed to say PORN on the internet
Not in Britain

Sobering how all the tech bro social sites are programming people to self-censor so the bots don’t cull their posts. The Internet is turning into a shitfuck.
shitfuck

Son of a damn mother shitter!
We needed a national online govt forum where we could sue for freedom of speech violations by mods etc. Unfortunately our government lacks leadership or progressives so
I’m picturing a discord-like server run by USPS and boooooooooy what a cluster fuck that would be
(Mostly because of the users, but also because of the way the current and previous administrations have repeatedly hamstrung USPS)
I more mean something organized like Reddit or Lemmy, with multiple aids for translating into other languages and disability access and allowing for an audio mode or text mode. Eg instead of going to my city’s Reddit, I’ll go to their actual official forum page. Instead of viewing my rep’s stupid Twitter, I can view their actual offical forum account.
And yeah it’ll be a fucking mess, legal nightmare, and expensive. But we need it as much as we need the post office and everything else.
I agree, it’s a necessary clusterfuck. But a clusterfuck indeed.
Not only are they censoring porn, they’re censoring the word itself!
Not in the UK
Why you think the net was born? P*rn, p*rn, p*rn!

Dude needs to just upload a pic of Norman Reedus.

You spelled Benny Hill wrong
At some point I think he just said fill the rest in with Aquaman to the artist
Does he not have a printer?
I don’t think it’s that common to own a functioning printer anymore
Some of us are old enough to have a functional pre-enshittifation Brother B/W laser printer off in a dark corner of the house. It waits. It bides its time. It has a toner cartridge from the Obama administration.
Today’s greybeards might show the youngins their old box of punch cards.
The next generation, in addition to many elders wearing cat ears instead of beards, will astonish the junior engineers by clicking print and it just works!! No App? No account? No subscriptions? No driver installation? No giant bloated utility pack that installed itself when you just asked for drivers? Wait and it did that over Wi-Fi?!?! It can connect to the internet and it still does the things you ask it to do?
Whoa whoa whoa, and you don’t even have your printer gun here! How are you going to shoot it when it starts making new noises after a shady forced update?
It’s about to make a comeback.
I don’t get it.
The only use for a printer in this situation that I can think of is printing individual video stills and making them into an erotic flick-book, but I’m sure that’s not itPrint stuff to fool cameras. Old trick, finding new use.
Doesn’t work well on people, but it’s very diffocult to train a model on the difference between printed and real images.
wow, they actually, properly, fully did this shit. Amazing.
So glad I left that shithole. My friends are aparantly using VPNs, which is the same fucking thing I had to use to access WIKIPEDIA in TURKEY.
Well, maybe not properly
enough for it to be consistently a violation of privacy and all the rest of the terrible things it does.
Well that’s the point isn’t it
