The road to hell is paved with good intentions
- RankingMember 8y agoAre there really even any good intentions here?
- tommoor 8y agoI believe so, the aim is to try and protect children from pornography – which seems well intentioned to me whatever you believe of the technical feasibility or the state overstepping it's place.
- RankingMember 8y agoOh what bureaucratic atrocities have been committed in the name of protecting children. The phrase "protect children" is practically a dog whistle now- whenever I hear of the government moving to "protect children" there's inevitably a company or companies behind it whose services the government will now be using to "protect" said children.
- etatoby 8y agoAs mentioned above by @adwww: > Mindgeek lobbied hard for this. They (owners of Pornhub etc) are the government's approved age verifiers, so are in theory now in charge of access to all the other porn sites.
