What is the practical implication of this anywhere beside eg 4chan? Almost every place with any quality of discussion requires logging in.
In theory anonymous and instantaneous commenting is an ideal of free speech. In practice it repeatably seems to just become wasteland.
- anotherrandom 4y agoAre you suggesting the lack of it is a preferable alternative?
- idontpost 4y agoI'm suggesting that it's utterly irrelevant.
- nomel 4y agoLogging in and verifying age are very different. See the new account creation process for the comment you typed, as an example.
- tomatotomato37 4y agoActually this won't really affect 4chan either; while it's speculated the servers reside in California there's no critical dependency that they actually stay there, and once the physical servers leave all ties are severed with the state and California looses any reasonable way to enforce the new law. It's kinda the same reason the site is accessible in Germany/UK/whatever despite violating every hate speech law in there jurisdiction
