I haven't actually seen anything about a Utah law yet, only the Montana ban of TikTok. What exactly does "hyper-totalitarian" mean compared to totalitarian, and what was the Utah law passed recently?
- sphars 3y agoUtah has passed a law that requires age verification to view porn: https://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/utah-law-requiring-porn-sites-verify-user-ages-99059621 https://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/utah-law-requiring-porn-...
- flagrant_taco 3y agoOh right, I remember seeing something about that now. Guess I was expecting something a bit worse, I don't see how online age requirements will help but it doesn't land as "hyper-totalitarian" to me either. Feels like a less enforcement version of age limits on buying alcohol or cigarettes - a hit on personal freedoms but can't say I've ever heard those labeled as totalitarian.
- logdap 3y agoYou could very reasonably call it authoritarian, but it objectively isn't totalitarian. Words tend to lose meaning in conversations like this.
